There too many to name: Battling Siki Battling Nelson Battling Shaw Battling Battalino Battling Levinsky Battling Torres Battling Barnett Battling Bolo Battling Bozo Battling Dozier Battling Fannin Battling Gizzy Battling Jim Johnson Battling Al Murray Battling Ortega
hh ,you got it right, but you forgot the best Battler of them all... Battling BOZO, a heavyweight who fought Maxie Rosenbloom, Tony Galento, Al Gainer...Truly a bozo....
I would say my top 5 were the best of the Battling's. Actually there over 2400 boxers that had that name.
Burt, where do you live now, because it looks like your a New Yorker and I am on the E-Board of Ring 8, which is the largest and most well known Veteran Boxing Organization in the World. Also, John Garfield sounds like he is another one from New York.
I live in Florida most of the year, and in Nassau County, the rest of the year...I'm a snowbird now...Better than being a jailbird, methinks...
My step sons and there family live in Central Florida. Well, it's almost 1 AM, time to get some shuteye.
IF your top 5 is in order, No way Siki is the best of all lol. I would have Nelson. This one didnt last long all thinks to Hhascup.
