bob fitzsimmons was wayne rooney's great great grandfather. fitzsimmons was world champion in both light-heavyweight and heavyweight weight classes around the turn of the century. just to give an idea of his skills, fitzsimmons was ranked #8 on Ring magazine's list of the best punchers in the sport of boxing all-time. foreman is #9. tyson is #16.

Skipped Lt. Hvw and won the Hvywght Championship..

Then went down in weight and won the Lt. Hvy.
