Harvey Francis Crosby

Harvey Francis Crosby (July 5, 1893 - November 17, 1939) was an American featherweight boxer and Union Boilermaker.

Crosby fought from 1914-1921 with a professional fighting record of 5 wins, 6 losses, and 2 draws prior to retiring with what was called at the time a 'creeping paralysis' that gradually took away his ability to walk. This condition is now known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. To his credit, Harvey fought 5 world champions including Abe Goldstein (88-87 Newspaper decision).
