	Wilson is also supposed to have been knocked out in 4 rounds by [[Italian Joe Gans]] in 1917, to have scored a two-round knockout over Battling Joe Carroll (a name once used by Young Kloby) in 1919, and to have scored a 3-round knockout over "Scotty Coyne" in 1919, but these fights have not been verified either. "Scotty Coyne" is probably a misspelling of the name of Cyclone Scott, whose meeting with Wilson is shown in the record.
