    I"m sure that Johnny Turner is one of the guys there, I don't know which picture, though. Might the lightheavyweight have been Diamond Jim McDonald, or David Sears?

    Someone already got Lewis and West, but yes, you got that right too. As for three, I think you may need to read the question again. A clue: He was a pretty famous promoter of the time. Not as big as King, Arum or the Duva's, but still well known in the sport, with a sort of 'Rocky' connection: He is most famous for promoting in the area Balboa mainly 'fought'...

    I believe you are thinking of Cedric Kushner, and no that is not the answer.
