    I began learning about WW2 boxers like Billy Conn, Beau Jack, Ezzard Charles, Willie Pep, Rocky Marciano, Jack Dempsey...then I found this link from boxrec with over 400 boxers that enlisted during WW2 and served.
    Not everyone on this list saw action but there are some really great names on this list still.
    Thoughts?

    I thought the reason the generation that beat the Axis was the greatest generation was because they STOPPED people who were trying to rule the world?

    Ruling the world is evil villain stuff.
