James J. Corbett

James J. Corbett ("Gentleman Jim" Corbett) was an Irish-American boxer.

History
After watching a fight at Homer's house, Mr. Burns said that he once paid a nickel to watch "Gentleman Jim Corbett" fight an Eskimo fellow bare-knuckled for 113 rounds. He also added, "if the fight lasted less than fifty rounds, we demanded our nickel back".

He is included on "Ned's List of Laudable Lefties".
