I was thinking that Jimmy Wilde looked a lot similar facially anyawy at least to a certain ESPN boxing commentater and trainer to a Russian heavyweight contender.

You can see where Wilde got his punching power from,up from his legs.
It is also interesting to see his boxing style.
It looks "Olde school"Modern sientific method.
You can still see Jim J. Corbett and Jack Johnson school of fighting techniques
in his style.
