Cleve Hawkins Photo?

Anyone have a good photo of HW Cleve Hawkins? He was a "coloured" guy who fought out of Montreal back in the 1920s. He was one of our lads who probably would have turned out better had he moved to the States. Much the same as Jack Ward and George Christian. I think Hawkins may have been a part-time musician in Montreal night clubs.

Cap, Is Jack Ward the same guy as Jack Ford? There was a black Jack Ward who came out of Montreal around 1914-1916--is this the same as Jack Ward--and if not do you know anything of a Jack Ford? Thanks

Not familiar with Ford. There was a black heavyweight out of Montreal called Jack Ward.

Do you know who that really is?
With that physique, it wouldn't be surprising if he is an up and coming prospect.

Isn't that the US rep in the super-heavyweight class for the 2008 Olympics?
