I figured, it was probably one of your dad's old opponents - which is why I went with LaStarza (I also had Danny Nardico in mind).

I would never have guessed, it was Miteff!

I know it was a hard one because it is a RECENT picture of him. You guys are posting their old boxing pictures, so I apologize.
My dad didnt fight Miteff, but they trained with each other at Stillman's Gym in NYC. THey had a couple of times contracts to fight one another, but better opportunities came along. They were longtime friends.
Miteff still lives in Argentina, Speaks a Portugese dialect which is translated by his son who accompanies pretty much most of the time, especially out of the country.
Here Miteff was at a NY Ring 8 VBA meeting back in July 2012. http://www.Ring8ny.com

Travels mostly in wheel chair, but can stand while steadying himself. He recognizes American names and has decent memory. I introduced myself and he rose, grabbed my hand and nodded with a big smile. His son said he remembers my dad well. I was elated beyond words. He signed a picture for me and said kind words about my dad.

As you can see he still has a boxing stature with huge hands. I compare them with Foreman's and Norton size hands-huge and meaty.

I'm stumped, he does have a WW2 standard hair cut but I'm stuggling.

Yeah. I agree.

Here they are again having a cup of tea to celebrate the Not Guilty verdict on nailing some nonce's head to a coffee table.

Here's a pic of my father knocking down Harrison in Providence, RI. At the time, Harrison was a sparring partner for Marciano. My father had a scheduled fight that date with LaStarza there, but LaStarza pulled out with cuts he suffered in his last fight a few weeks earlier, and Harrison was substituted in. Though my father had Harrison down twice early on, Harrison came back to beat my dad. Charley Norkus
Its the only pic I have of Harrison in my files.

No that tricky but I liked the photo
