Ernest Cutler Price (February 2, 1891 – August 7, 1942) better known as Jack Dillon, was an American boxer who held the Light Heavyweight Championship of the World. Dillon was often referred to as "Jack the Giant Killer" for his ability to handle the most dangerous heavyweights of his era. Ring Magazine founder Nat Fleischer ranked Dillon as the #3 Light Heavyweight of all time, while boxing promoter Charley Rose placed him at #2.[1] The International Boxing Research Organization rates Dillon as the 16th best Light-Heavyweight ever.[2] He was inducted into the Ring Magazine Hall of Fame in 1959 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1995.[1][3][4] His managers included Sam Murbarger, and later Steve Harter.[5]
