This British boxer had the guts to fight 99 bouts between 1920-1937.
so wouldn't call him the worst.

This post is kinda disrespectful in general to fighters. What have you ever done? Get in the ring then talk. Worst British champs? Ok. Worst British fighters? Please.

yeah, that olde tymer re-creation footage is from 1932.
Middleweight Pat O'keefe fought Bomardier Billy Wells in 1913 and got KO'd in round 15..
Not sure how much weight he gained to do it,but Wells out-weighed him by about 40 Lbs..
O'Keefe next fought Geoege Carpentier for a Heavyweight Championship and was KO'd in 2 rounds
here is some film footage of Pat O'keefe in his younger days as a Middle-weight.
