    Conn, your avatar is a picture of Abe Attell, in his bloody bout with the heavier LW Harlem Tommy Murphy. They were both soaked in blood after their long bout.
    This photo was enlarged and displayed in Abe Attell's bar on Broadway NY
    for many years,a few blocks North of Jack Dempsey's restaurant....

    Dana Rosenblatt is the greatest Jewish fighter who ever lived. Far more modern.

    MANY GREAT Jewish FIGHTERS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.....I like Burt's list...I do think Leonard was at the top and Ross was great as well but there so many through out the years.
