Boxing Champions Of The Past
America's Contributions To The Roster Of Famous Fighters
(By "storles")
The intense world-wide interest and excitement induced by the recent Schmeling-Louis heavyweight fight, and the huge "gate" which it drew in the Yankee Stadium a few weeks ago is a reminder that the United States has long been the country where champions are made or marred. In the accompanying article, our contributor "Historicus" recalls some of the magical ring names of the past, from the time Jem Mace migrated from England to America until the arrival of the immaculate Gene Tunney in 1926.
