    James Louis Bivins
    , (December 6, 1919 – July 4, 2012) was an
    American
    heavyweight
    boxer
    whose professional career ran from 1940 to 1955. He was born in Dry Branch,
    Georgia
    . Although he was never given the opportunity to fight for a world title, despite at one point being the number one contender in both the
    light heavyweight
    and heavyweight divisions, Bivins fought and defeated many of the great fighters of his era and won the "Duration" Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight titles. Fifteen of Bivins' victorious fights were rated 5-Star by
    BoxRec
    , including six at heavyweight. In recognition of his achievements in the ring - among other things, he defeated eight of the eleven world champions he faced - Bivins was inducted into the
    International Boxing Hall of Fame
    in 1999. He was also the one-time husband of
    Dollree Mapp
    , the subject of prominent Supreme Court case regarding the rights of search and seizures.
