Regarding the first group, they were the first pro opponents respectively for Max Baer, Joe Louis, Floyd Patterson, and Ezzard Charles. (But you misspelled the names, and the fourth was Melody Johnson not Medley Johnson)

The second group were the first pro opponents respectively for Freddie Mills, Johnny Saxton, Beau Jack, and Davey Moore. (And Jimmy spelled his name Swann . . .)
