Joseph "Joe" Aloysius Lynch (November 30, 1898 – August 1, 1965) was an American boxer who held the World Bantamweight Championship during his career.[1] An extremely durable fighter, Lynch was never knocked out in nearly 160 bouts despite an aggressive fighting style. Statistical boxing website BoxRec lists Lynch as the #11 ranked bantamweight of all time, while The Ring Magazine founder Nat Fleischer placed him at #4.[2][3] The International Boxing Research Organization rates Lynch as the 11th best bantamweight ever.[4] He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005 within the "Old-Timer" category.
