I think the one on the extreme left is Walter Monahan, a regular spar mate for Willard.Here is another pic for comparison.Monahan was just under 6ft and over 200lbs. I think the other sparmate is Jack Hemple the photo was taken in Havana prior to the Johnson fight,the other principal sparring partner Jess used for that fight was Joe Thomas, but I think its Hemple. The other guy ,Willard's manager Tom Jones? This content is protected
Thank you. Hard to tell comparing the photos, but taking everything else into account I think you're right.
That is Jack Hemple next to Willard. I have another photo taken at that camp (it was the training camp before the Dempsey fight) with Hemple and Willard in it along with Jim Jeffries and a sportwriter. I don't know who the older guy is on the far right in the training clothes.
