Holley Mims (February 10 1929 – January 13 1970) was a highly regarded middleweight boxer during the 1950s and 1960s. His overall record 64-27-6 (13 KOs) meant that he spent much of his career ranked among the top ten boxers in the middleweight category. Among his notable fights was a loss to Rubin Carter in 1962 a fight that he took on one day’s notice having flown into New York just prior the fight; Mims dropped Carter in round four.
