Fought Soose, Zale, Cerdan, SRR, and accredited himself well. "One more fight against an old foe and Georgie suited up along with Zale for WWII. Four years went by in a period of unease, as it was for everyone, but Abrams was permitted to conduct art classes at his naval base; a nice omen that even in the midst of worldwide conflict his secret passion was alive. Take four years out of serious competition today and you couldn’t be sure if a boxer still has it, but back in the ‘40s you really had no idea. Though still brilliant, Tony Zale was thought to have lost a step upon his return, and the same is likely true of Abram". http://www.boxing.com/georgie_abrams_war_guaranteed.html
