I was a boxing protege,beloved by my city, because I fought with my hands
at my side, and seldom lost...I beat great fighters with my unorthodox style, but
lost my title and career to Mr. whiskey...Who am I ?

Champ with unorthodox style, boy wonder, beloved by his city, lost to alcohol... sounds like Jimmy Slattery?

B,you nailed it .Jimmy Slattery who was a sensation at 17 years of age, fighting with his hands by his side...He became LH
champion with this style but lost to John Barleycorn, who no one ever beat...
