    Never saw Dean Martin box, but used to see him ringside at Stillman's Gym watching sparring.

    Way to go out on a limb there with your opinion.

    Water is wet IMO.

    Y'know, Mitchum is one who's fight scenes were believeable..both the way they were staged, and the fact that Mitchum..a rather menacing looking guy, was doing the fighting.

    S, I am sure Jack Palance never fought Joe Baksi. I have seen big Joe Baksi fight at MSG against Tami Mauriello, Lee Savold and Lee Oma, in the 1940s.A big [for that time] powerful blond rough guy,and looking at his record today, I see no mention of a Jack Palance ,in the record books.Cheers.

    Palance fought outta the Bronx under the name Jack Brazzo. If you check for Brazzo you'll find it.
    I have the clipping somewhere in my stacks from the White Plains NY Pap. They describe quite a four round war with Joe copping the duke.

    Whoa! I thought this thread died a quick death. I'm glad it got some play even if we can't quite nail him down.

    :rofl

    I hope when you say "young lass" you don't mean pedo young...

    He fought under the name Jack Brazzo. I'll get the newspaper article when I have time.
