i was thinking about this today...without doing any research, top of my head i thought benny leonard v lew tendler (1st). any of you think of a better all jewish fight.
Al Bummy Davis and Schoolboy Bernie Friedkin was a big fight for Brownsville Brooklyn but I think Leonard -Tendler tops it
Benny Leonard vs Lew Tendler of course #1 Ruby Goldstein vs. Sid Terris is #2 Why? Ruby Goldstein as a young lightweight was considered the hardest punching lightweight since Aurelio Herrera, who either dropped or kod everyone he fought til he met the young wild Midwesterner Ace Hudkins in Coney Island called the Nebraskan Wildcat. My dad saw that bout and in the 1st round Goldstein dropped Hudkins on his back with a right hand, but was shocked when Hudkins got up and proceeded to expose Ruby Goldstein's glass jaw koing Ruby for his 1st loss. Sid Terris the "galloping Ghost" was considered the fastest lightweight til his time but a weak hitter. These two rivals met and in the 1st round Goldstein's patented right hand dropped Terris who somehow got to his feet and timed a right hand on Goldstein's jaw koing Ruby who not long after retired and became a famous referee... Ruby Goldstein vs Sid Terris, great rivalry... #3 Benny Leonard vs maybe Britain's greatest fighter, the WW Ted Kid Lewis in 1918.
I have read that the bout for the vacant world featherweight title between Louis "Kid" Kaplan and Danny Kramer was a fine one. - Chuck Johnston
