    ...actually, this could be fun, let's make a top-10 of Jewish-American heavyweights...and pit them against the Italian-American and Irish-American crews... :think

    Like our own historical Hell's Kitchen of big-lug pugs! :ibutt

    :nono If memory serves there would be some pretty good names on that list. I'm obviously not referring to bums like Roman Greenberg (who actually was based outta the UK anyway).

    Slapsie Maxie, the Baer Bros, either Levinsky (Battling or Kingfish), Choynski etc.

    Don't leave out Mike Rossman, though this could get a little schizophrenic,....as he was half Jewish, half Italian.

    Cooney and Marciano take them all, and Braddock already took care of Max Baer.

    Not a very good list I'm afraid.

    Sullivan should probably be at the top of the list, but he should unequivocally be above Sharkey.

    C00ney has no business being above anybody on that list.

    Jimmy Braddock should be much higher, if only because he was lineal champion.
