    That is definitely Marcel Thil with the bald head and Fred Apostoli with the dark hair. Great photo!

    024 is Tami Mauriello, 018 is Galento decking Louis, and I'm not so sure about 014 being Jose Torres. It sort of looks like Bob Montgomery.

    #24 looks like Abe Simon to me.

    I had thought #12 was Mario D'Agata from the original picture, but the two that have been posted here look more like Thil.

    Here is where we are so far guys.

    021 Peter Waterman or Battling Battalino - I reckon its Waterman!

    0012 We had Benny Leonard and Mario D'Agata but its probably Marcel Thil and Fred Apostoli

    008 Obviously its Joe Louis on the left. A lot of people thought it was Jerry Quarry but we have had a suggestion of Mike Quarry - which seems a good shout.

    026 Tony Zale or Jess Willard - I still am not sure024 We've had a few suggestions including Tami Mauriello, Marcel Cerdan, Barney Ross and Abe Simon - Tami is looking a good bet.

    018 The one and only "Two Ton" Tony Galento, with poor old Joe on the deck.

    014 Jose Torres is still the only suggestion.

    010 We've had Chisanda Mutti and Lotte Mwale with an unknown on the right - another suggested an ageing Sugar Ray Robinson on the left!
