Mike Conley (27 September 1860 – 14 March 1920) was a late 1800s professional heavyweight boxer. He was born in Towanda, Pennsylvania but resided in Ithaca, New York, where he was known as the "Ithaca Giant". He was described as a bonafide heavyweight with a "heavyweight" punch. He was reportedly the Heavyweight Champion of the Northwest. His greatest weakness as a boxer was said to be his lack of boxing finesse.[1] An image of Conley is widely used in Internet memes.
