Dan Flynn (April 5, 1888 – 1946) was an American Boxer known as much for his ring skills as for his punch and dirty tactics. He apparently earned the nickname "Porky" from his pre-boxing days working in a sausage factory. He had a record of 26 wins (6 by knockout), 22 losses, 8 draws, and 36 no decisions.
