There, I invented a new word!

Congrats on the new word , but I think it should have two tees in it.

In 1919, 43 years old Sharkey ,cauliflower ear and all, married 19 years old film actress Rita Gardner.

Go for it Sailor

This is a very interesting photo. this makes Sharkey just over one brick shorter than Jeffries, doesnt it? (i sure hope it is sharkey and jeffries). How does this sit with the reported sizes of fighters? about 3 inches different?

One brick? For the love of god that's nearly two bricks...

If Jim is 6' 1/2" then Sharkey isn't far off 5'8" in that photo. Looks like a 4-5 inch difference between them.

Greb was probably taller than 5'8

And then you can imagine Sharkey next to Greb and you see the height disparity
