Finnegan won two medals in Boxing at the 1904 Summer Olympics, a gold medal in the flyweight category and a silver medal against fellow American boxer Oliver Kirk in the bantamweight category in which he gained several pounds in several days. Alongside Kirk, Finnegan remains only one of four boxers in boxing history to win medals in two separate weight divisions at the same Olympics.
