Was this his `Hollywood` phase?

Check the prize ring sash and model to his right.

Looks like he was being photographed and modeling for THAT model you see.

It obviously was taken about the time of his bout with Gibbons in Shelby:

obviously correct about the model, not so sure about the Shelby bout.
Both times wearing white shorts but thats about all.
Nice photos though.

I'm not saying the last one is the Shelby fight, but taken around the same time. The caption says it was taken in Seattle in 1923.

You know, loath as I am to ridicule an all time great; if you look closely at his shorts it seems there's something.....to be diplomatic let's just say-'highly suspect' going on....
