WILDE FOOLED THE "WIDE BOYS" WITH HIDDEN WEIGHTS
By CHARLES BARNETT
How often does one hear the remark "if only he had a punch!" when the merits of a particular boxer are being discussed? And how often also does one hear that others possess a punch, yet have little or no skill?
Well, May of 1952 marked the 60th birthday of little man who, as far back as four decades or more, elec- trified the world with his deeds inside the ring; partially, strange to relate, because he had all the required skill, but largely because he could literally produce a devastat- ing punch from nowhere—Jimmy Wilde,
