    Well, I certainly have no problem with Benny Leonard. I just thought I'd mention another Bennie...Briscoe, that is.

    There was one they called "Peerless" that might've had something to say about that.

    While there is some debate on the topic, Tunney said Harry Greb was Jewish, and the Jews who are known for research and copious notes have Greb in their book of who's who.

    In those days, fighters would sometimes hide their ethnicity for greater fan appeal.
