Timeline

1904

James Edward Slattery (August 25, 1904 in Buffalo, New York – August 30, 1960) was an American professional boxer in the light heavyweight (175 lb) division.

1921

Slattery, son of a Buffalo fire fighter, turned pro in 1921 and came up short in his challenge for the World Light Heavyweight Title against Paul Berlenbach in 1925.

1925

His KO loss in 1925 to Dave Shade was named Ring Magazine Upset of the Year.

1927

Slattery won the vacant NBA light heavyweight title in August 1927 with a decision over Maxie Rosenbloom, only to lose it to Tommy Loughran in December of that year.

1930

He won the NYSAC World Light Heavyweight Title by beating Lou Scozza on February 10, 1930 in Broadway Auditorium.

Slattery lost the title later that year in a bout at Bison Stadium against Maxie Rosenbloom for the NYSAC World Light Heavyweight Title and the Undisputed World Light Heavyweight Title.

The verdict was "highly unpopular" with the 15,000 fans at the fight.

The United Press score sheet gave Rosenbloom eight rounds and Slattery four, with three even.

Referee Patsy Haley, after being almost knocked out by one of Rosenbloom's wild swings, gave his decision to Slattery.

He was overruled by two judges, both of whom voted for Rosenbloom.

Alcoholism almost certainly shortened Slattery's life, career and marriage (he had famously eloped with 19-year-old Elizabeth A. Pendergast).

1943

In 1943, his second wife, Mildred, had him committed to the alcoholic ward at Bellevue Hospital.

During the Great Depression, Slattery was known to throw money out of the window of his car while driving through the streets in order to help the poor children buy new shoes for school.

1960

Slattery died of pulmonary tuberculosis on August 30, 1960, in Buffalo, New York.

1992

He was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 1992, Buffalo Veteran Boxers Association Ring #44 in 1997 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2006.

1997

A play about Slattery's life, Jimmytown, written by Anthony Cardinale, was produced in Buffalo in 1997; Jimmy Slattery Place, in South Buffalo, was named in his honor in 2006.

A diagnosis of tuberculosis significantly impacted his health during the last decades of his life.

1998

His former wife, Elizabeth Ann Burgess (née Pendergast) died in 1998; they had divorced in 1940.
