Famous bare knuckle boxer. One of four boxing brothers, Belasco had the most success among his siblings. He began his professional career in 1817 and, according to the Pugilistica, "was in his day a boxer of superior talent, a master of the science, not wanting for game, not deficient in strength of an athletic make, a penetrating eye, and in the ring full of life and activity."
