Thank you, I also appreciate all the photographs you folks are digging up.
MIKE "The Ithaca Giant" CONLEY HW
Hometown - Ithaca, New York, USA
2(1)-3-0; 1 NC
Conley stood six feet tall and was an imposing figure in the ring (for his day). He had an odd career, fighting only 6 bouts over eight years in far flung venues. He took bouts in New York, San Francisco, Wisconsin and New Orleans. It is likely that these locals simply were the places his travels looking for work took him and boxing was just a way to make a few bucks from time-to-time. He did knock John P Clow out however Mike also dropped early round KOs to Frank Herold and Billy Woods. Conley likely lacked boxing skills but found that his size could be an occasional ticket to a payday in the ring.
