They may carry his name, but he didn't create the rules.

i once wrote a history of boxing for work but i'll be buggered if i can remember the answer. i do know that the crown prince used to box against scallies and that everyone always took a dive.

Seeing as the Phoenix has stalled slightly, i'll post the answer after the question has stood for one week (or unless someone hits the old Wikipedia).

The rules were in fact written by one John Graham Chambers.

Anyone is welcome to pick up the torch and carry on.
