I just want to show Leach Cross because his nickname was "The Fighting Dentist", which is awesome. He was a solid B grade lightweight who beat a lot of other solid B grade lightweights. He fought out of a crouch and relied on the right cross, the newspaper reports make it sound like he was something of a fan favorite. His dentistry even intersected with his boxing, in one fight Cross apparently knocked out Knock-Out Brown's tooth, and then repaired it for him after the fight. He appears too have been a routinely practicing dentist throughout his career, and ran his dental practice until his death.

Here's his T220 trio, Mecca 30, Mecca 649, Tolstoi variations.
