'''George Henry "K.O." Chaney''' (born April 16, 1892 – December 20, 1958) was a featherweight and lightweight boxer active from 1910 to 1928. Chaney was born in Baltimore, Maryland to Irish-American parents. Boxing Illustrated ranked him fourth of all-time in terms of pound-for-pound punchers, while the Bleacher Report named him the 14th greatest southpaw in boxing history. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014.

Professional career

Chaney was afflicted with a "glass jaw", which was often his downfall against top ranked opponents. Chaney fought many professional lightweights and featherweights from his era, including Johnny Dundee, Rocky Kansas, Lew Tendler, and Abe Attell. Chaney was included in Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time. Chaney was afforded two opportunities to win a world title. His bout with Rocky Kansas at old Oriole Park in 1920 was said to be one of the most brutal and bloody bouts ever held in Baltimore.
