Hell might as well keep it running. Keep posting photos of old time fighters or lesser known fighters, and see who can come up with the answers.

I think my dad had some sports clippings on this guy. John Berg? Blast for my old psyche. Probably wrong.....I'll look him up here.

Ok based on the record I just looked up, I'm guessing it's Jack "Kid" Berg....

Shared the "windmill" moniker with Greb....My dad thought a lot of both of the "windmills". lol.

Cept this one was from "overseas" in his language. And I'm sure my dad said he never saw this guy fight.

Good one Buzz.

Your dad must have been a connoisseur of the noble art.

Jack Kid Berg - The Whitechapel Windmill - Real name Judah Bergman.

There is a great This Is Your Life on him on youtube if anyone has the inclination; well worth a look.

Anyone gets this one right will win a Mike Tyson endorsed whizzer in the ethnic colour of your choice*, with a years supply of clean juice.

Wow! I expected to make life tough with that one, you done good!
(or is that a well known photo of Omelio fighting a decent HW that I cropped and you recognised?)

You don't get a whizzer.
