Was half thinking that seemed a bit too easy.

I was thinkin that mate but never seem Cerdan with a shaven chest and that threw my.

014 looks very like Jose Torres
021 looks like Peter Waterman
026 looks like Tony Zale, but the pic looks too old (looks like a boxer in the 20s)
012 definitely not Benny Leonard. I would guess that photo is taken in 30s or 40s. Looks nothing like Leonard and boxers in those days used to weigh in fully dressed. The boxers are flys or bantams.
010 a total guess, but I would say Chisanda Mutti and Lotte Mwale (no idea guy on right).
024 you are right about the hairy chest for Cerdan, looks like a boxer from the 30s-40s though
The guy half out of shot in 08 is Joe Louis

Galento dropping Louis is the easy one here.

024 is Tami Mauriello.

In 008, the boxer with the half-obscured Joe Louis looks a lot like Mike Quarry.

Damn all you guys seem to have so much knowledge of boxers from the 1st half of the last century . I thought i knew a bit.

Here is where we are so far guys.

021 Peter Waterman or Battling Battalino - I reckon its Waterman!

0012 We had Benny Leonard and Mario D'Agata but its probably Marcel Thil and Fred Apostoli

008 Obviously its Joe Louis on the left. A lot of people thought it was Jerry Quarry but we have had a suggestion of Mike Quarry - which seems a good shout.

026 Tony Zale or Jess Willard - I still am not sure

024 We've had a few suggestions including Tami Mauriello, Marcel Cerdan, Barney Ross and Abe Simon - Tami is looking a good bet.

018 The one and only "Two Ton" Tony Galento, with poor old Joe on the deck.

014 Jose Torres is still the only suggestion.010 We've had Chisanda Mutti and Lotte Mwale with an unknown on the right - another suggested an ageing Sugar Ray Robinson on the left!

No way is 026 Willard, looks nothing like him and too small.

Mike Quarry a good shout

Thill we seem to have the chest hair problem again

This is Apostoli and Thil. The guys in the pic are too small and it looks older

I dont know - I still think its Thil.

You are right - I dont think 26 is Willard.

# 010 seems to be the biggest mystery, like I said I have had the suggestion of Chisanda Mutti and Lotte Mwale but the photo is waaaay older than that

The fellow on our right is Hogan 'Kid' Bassey. I am guessing the guy on our left is Kid Galivan
