Joe Goss was born on 5 November 1838 in Northampton England. Although he rarely scaled more than 160 pounds the clever and aggressive Goss routinely fought men both bigger and heavier than himself.At the age of twenty Goss began his career with a 90-minute victory over George Hares. Goss would not lose a contest until Hall of Famer Jem Mace defeated him in 19 rounds (1 hour and 55 minutes) in London on 1 September 1863.
