Two Walter Price Records Combined?

Post by DavidEpstein »

I believe that there were two Walter Prices and that their records are combined and should be separated. A Walter Price from Massachusetts claimed to have been a pro boxer in the 1920s who in 1938, knocked out former World Heavyweight Champion Jack Johnson in a "Cellar" match.
The other Price also fought in the 1920s, but was from England. If Prices boxrec record is reviewed, you will notice that he has bouts in England, then suddenly a whole batch of bouts in Massachusetts and then back in England. Two different fighters? I think so, and their records should be separated.

You are wrong and the Price that fought in Massachusetts was actually the featherweight from the U.K.
