King Levinsky, Patry Perroni and Johnny Bisko are niño under ennsileration,

"I think that everybody has gone overboard in mying that Joe Louis is the greatest heavyweight full time." Sharkey said in discussing his comeback

How can they say Louis is a' grent fighter when no body has given him a flight?

As for Jimmy Bradlock, Sharkey referred to the champion on an ex- sparring partner, and anid he once kayoed him with big gloves.

NOT A CHANCE

Persons who have watched Sharkey in training at a locul gymnasium in recent weeks say that the squire has slowed down to such an extent that he shouldn't be

rated as even a

Sharkey, a fine defensive fighter but very much An in-and-outer throughout his long ring career, won the championship June 21, 1922 by defenting Max Schmeling in a 15- in Long Island. The round bout next year Primo Carnera stripped Jack of his title by a six-round knock- out. Sharkey attempted a comeback after that, but retired in 1983 after successive losses to Tommy Loughran and King Levinsky.

Jack is now 33 years of age. He lives with his wife and their three children in the fashionable Chestnut Hill section of Boston-United Prean.
