What do you think of him, had some good wins, took absolute hell in that second Schmelling fight which ended him (Cant post links) But his second fight with Schmelling and the Art Lasky fights are available There was a report out after Schmelling II saying he had practically lost the use of his legs when he left Hamburg and his speech was slightly affected, how bad was he affected in the long term by what Schemelling dished out in that second fight? "Still suffering from the effects of the terrific thumping he took last Sunday from Max Schmelling, German heavyweight, Steve Hamas rested tonight in a sanitorium. Although the Americans manager, white-haired Charley Harvey, and attending physicians hope Hamas will be fully recovered within a fortnight, they admittedly are worried over some of the symptoms the fighter developed after he had been stopped in nine rounds by Schemelling. Hamas is suffering from numbness of the left leg, double vision in the left eye and possibly a spinal ailment. As a result doctors ordered him to a sanitorium and placed him on a strict diet, forbidding alcohol or tobacco. Harvey said the physicians are not yet sure Hamas suffered any injury to his spine. They believe it possible the young New Jersey boxer may be suffering simply from exhaustion, the result of the terrific punishment he took from Schmelling. Dr Goebbels asserted that a Schmelling punch, close to the ear affected Hamas' brain so that he was unable to understand the meaning of words during the fight."
