    Rez, this clip of Benny Leonard, Charlie Chaplan and Billy Gibson, Leonard's manager, I never saw before. Benny Leonard was the supreme lightweight ever, as was Chaplin the greatest silent screen genius. Kudos...

    Dang Rez, please keep posting these gems, never seen this before. Ck out at the 1:43 point, Leonard was fooling around but that right hand was loaded.
