Fire away guys

Not the usual suspects, Ghosty, which makes it interesting.

There are a few that I have an idea about, some about which I don't have the foggiest idea, and three certainties, so I'll stick with those.

3 is Henry Armstrong.

15 is Jersey Joe Walcott.

20 is Joey Maxim.

9 is Sugar Ray Robinson

easy!

Don't believe it is, ONETWO.

Robinson was named Walker Smith.

2) Kid Chocolate
4) Kaokor Galaxy ( Brother of Khaosai)
9) Beau Jack
15) Jersey Joe Walcott
17) Young Corbett ll
19) Kid Azteca

James Hagan (not Joe, I think) was Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. Edward (Eddie) Gregory is Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, William Ward was Kid Norfolk and Christopher Battaglia was Battling Battalino.

I've looked up the rest, which fascinate me. I'll leave them for those who know them without having to research.

Number 20 is Joey Maxim

Windy I'm a touch disappointed you haven't got number 4!

Is number 12 Midget Wolgast?

Ghosty if you don't mind me throwing in another.

Gugliermo Papaleo?

That would be two of us then, kev.

I'm indebted to some of our sages for having unmasked some of the others which had me stumped. Good selection this, and not the standard fare for the genre.

Number 10 has baffled me, no idea.

It's off all the hours of looking at boxers Wiki pages :P

I now have number 10 but I won't say because I cheated.

Wouldn't have got it in a month of Sundays.

14) Lee Savold

PM me it?

4) Memphis Pal Moore I read an article about him yesterday.

Would never have have made the connection, kev.

I thought i'd try and make it a bit more interesting rather than the usual names that get bandied about.

7, 8, 10, 11 and 16 are still left.

Does anyone want a few clues?

10) Young Corbett III

Spot on PBK, a man often overlooked as one of Europes finest boxers.

Just cheated on 16. Wow. Would never have guessed it.

Nice article Ghosty!

Another overlooked fighter whom you would think would be more well known, especially when you consider what he did.

Very surprised no one has got 7, 8 and definitely 11 (a bonafide great by any stretch of the imagination).
