Carnera in the middle.
I do hope the self-proclaimed experts like BRR and Jimbo will help us out.
Maybe junior trainee boxing historian 4th class Bobby Boxbuzz can show us what he has learnt after 15000 posts....

Glad to oblige!! I have learned enough to accurately identify that neither of these men in question are Heavyweights.
(At least at the time this pic was taken).
Is that what you were looking for Collins?

Promotion to 3rd class is your reward for that excellent contribution, Rob.
Bazza will be proud.
You had a chance to listen to Eminem's new album yet? Any favourites? I like Bagpipes From Baghdad.

No one knows who those other 2 blokes are.
So, it's either clues or the answer time.

Quite rightly
. I'm pretty sure that photo was taken in Los Angeles. Labarba and Sanstol were both being managed by George Blake, but LaBarba would retired about this time, due to his eye injury. I don't know how Carnera wound up in this photo.

No, not Thil. We'll give a few others the chance before I reveal the answer.
