Who is the best Jewish boxer ever?

I thought Alexander Frenkel had a lot of potential, but he inexplicably gave up boxing.

The best ever was possibly Benny Leonard. Ted "Kid" Lewis also rates as one of the best.

Although he had little punching power, the original slapper Maxie Rosenbloom was one of the slickest and most athletic boxers of all time.

 

Bernard Hopkins.

 

Muhamid Ali.

 

Godly

 

Julie Lederman

 

Benny Leonard would be my choice for all-time.

Since 1970? Depends on whether you consider Zab Judah "Jewish." If yes, I'd say it's him. If not, probably Mike Rossman. Dana Rosenblatt might also deserve some consideration here. Other than this, the pickings are pretty slim.

 

Zab's parents aren't "Jews", but Hebrews. :good

 

Salita :smoke

 

Who is the best Mormon boxer? :huh They produce a lot of great athletes from BYU ya know Steve Young, Todd Christensen they don't drink, smoke, have *** before marriage that's gotta' make you mean man :twisted:

Shout out to Mickey Goldstein. Trained Rocky Balboa for first fight against Creed. I know he's fictional but **** Rocky's in da HOF :good

 

Gene Fullmer was a Mormon

 

Benny Leonard. Ted "Kid" Lewis. A step below that, Joe Choynski.

 

Jewish mother, italian father - check Wikipedia. Dunno if he considered himself jewish, but judaism is generally matrilineal (meaning if your mother is jewish, you are considered jewish too).

 

Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, Ted ''kid'' lewis.
