    Man, there are a TON of Jewish fighters. It used to be perfectly commonplace in the old days. Benny Leonard and Barney Ross are on a lot of top 25 p4p lists.

    Some of those guys almost certainly changed their names...from O'Reilly to Goldberg, etc. These are almost certainly all Irishman trying to capitalize on the ethnic thing.

    No he wore the star of david on his trunks, but he wasnt even jewish.


    More recently Dana Rosenblatt. I know he wasnt great but along with Yuri Foreman probably the best Jewish guy in recent years.
