Cassius Clay vs Mountain Rivera

I recognized Willie Pep and Barney Ross in the Bar scene. Anybody recognize anyone else?

 

tony galento, abe simon, gus lesnevich and joey abrams.
brilliant set of pugs though.if there's no room at the bar my advice would be to go elsewhere for a drink

 

thanks for this

 

do you know any more of them ?? i think i saw mcvey and john garfield in the background

 

Carmen Basilio was smoking. Also was Jackie Wilson the black guy?

 

i think the one near the end was rory calhoun a middleweight contender

 

Also in the bar lineup was Steve Belloise,Alex Miteff, Rory Calhoun(2nd black guy pictured) and Barney Ross was the last guy with Willie Pep next to him.

Its bugging me :huh Who the Black guy with they NY jacket the first shown:think I know his face but cant think of who it is.

At first i wasnt sure if Barney Ross was Ceferino Garcia

 

:good Correct you beat me too it.

 

call it a draw.you got steve belloise:good

 

:rofl Thanks T.

 

Rory Calhoun, Paola Rosi 'n Billy Graham
