I guess he came back and then went on vacation. Hands and Feet problems? He could always use Lidocaine Pretty Sure he got into acting. He uses the stage name "Oded Fehr" This content is protected He is a "Lover" not a "Fighter" at the moment. It's all about the Ladies.
Anyway, there used to be a series of documentaries on ESPN about different ethnic groups in boxing: Blacks, Italians, Jewis, Irish, etc. Each had their own video. I think this was one of them. It was a very long time ago so I can't quite remember. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGf-s8wjpuM[/ame] But anyway...I never saw this one but it seems interesting.

Most have been mentioned already but surprised with the popularity of "The Fighter" that no one mentioned Saoul Mamby......Also my favorite of all time Benny Leonard- top 10 all time great and the best lightweight ever....he was mentioned but yeah man YDKSAB if you don't know about the great Jews that have graced the sport. In the early 1900's through to 1930's there was a **** ton of poor Jewish immigrants living in poverty in America and they produced some of the best fighters and champs of the time. A good portion of the greatest fighters ever came from poverty and when a ton of Jews in america were a down and out bunch they gave us some gems.
god point. and Yemenite Jews of whom there are about 300,000 in Israel certainly qualify as "people of color"
I remember reading some posts here over the years where people claimed the Klitschko's had jewish heritage on their dad's side. I can't find any other info, & of course if Koman didn't mention it, it's likely not true LOL
Did you know the first fight in which there was a live gate was to see a Jewish Boxer Mendoza cant remember his first name off the top of my head....
Daniel Mendoza :good I would have loved to have seen some of the fights from back then, especially Cribb/Molineaux.
Carl Froch is rumoured to be Jewish...he denies this and claims to be 'just financially astute' JK, I love my Jewish brothers
What the hell. **** you, you racist moron. Doesn't this site have moderators who pick up on this ****? You're wrong about there being no black Jews, too. Also, **** you tedious *******s who can't post in a thread like this without getting on a soapbox about Palestine. I'm critical of Israel's policies, but it's not relevant to this thread, and "Jew" and "Israeli" are not synonyms.
