Cohen won the Australian amateur bantamweight title in September 1935 at the age of 17 shortly before he turned pro. Cohen won the Australian bantamweight championship in 1942, and the Australian featherweight championship in 1943.
[[Category:Jewish Boxers|Cohen, Harry]]
About half of this record taken from an LA84 journal article by Anthony Hughes on
Harry Cohen and his boycott of the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
Hughes researched much of Cohen's professional record and printed it in
the footnotes to the article. The article was printed in LA84's annual journal
for 2000. It seems at this time that Cohen was inactive for most of 1939 and all of 1940 due to the outbreak of WW2.

*The Freeport Municipal Stadium opened September 1931. In Sept 1933, Ebbets signed on as manager of the Rockaway Beach White Elephants, a professional football team that played out Freeport Municipal Stadium, Long Island. He was also going to play the end position for this team.
*Ebbets apparently then became owner of the Freeport Bulldogs, a professional football team, circa 1934. The Bulldogs played home games at Freeport Municipal Stadium, Long Island. Never stopped in the 146 fights documented so far-remarkable.

<human>009847</human>
Son of Simon Goldberg and Mina Barker (both originally from Russia), '''Marty Gold''' was ranked in 1930 and 1931 for eight straight months by ''The Ring'' magazine in its top ten rankings as a flyweight. He fought "on the road" for much of his career, and he lost many "hometown" decisions. Fought and lost to world flyweight champions Midget Wolgast, Newsboy Brown, Johnny McCoy, Frankie Genero,and Frenchy Belanger, and bantamweight world champion Al Brown. Defeated Belanger
Twice in 1930. These two victories over Belanger were the only victories Gold scored over the many world champions he battled throughout his career. It also appears that Gold was never stopped inside the distance. Even though he was a highly ranked world class flyweight Gold never got a shot at the flyweight title. Had at least 13 or 14 fights with various World Champion fighters losing 13 times and winning twice, including fighting World Flyweight Champion Midget Woldgast six times losing all six. He also fought World Champions like Newsboy Brown, Jackie Wilson, Al Brown, Tony Marino, Frankie Genero and Frenchy Belanger being the only World Champion he managed to defeat by official decision-though some newspapers sources had him winning over Genero also. He also fought world class flyweight contender Willie Davis 8 times, losing every time-but every fight was competitive and close.

Most of the 1923-1925 bouts results in the linked career record are from [[IBRO Journal]] Issue No. 72--compiled by Chuck Hasson from the ''Philadelphia Record''.

== The "Golden-Age of Bantamweight Boxing" ==
[[file:Brown.PanamaAl.jpg|right|100px|thumb|Panama Al Brown]]
“For the first time in 13 years a bout between bantams caused a bit of a stir in New York City. Not since Cleveland’s [[Georgie Pace]] and Brooklyn’s [[Lou Salica]] tangled in a 118 lb. title bout in New York back in 1940 has the big town even noticed the existence of the little fellows.
[[file:Rosenberg.Charley.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Charley Rosenberg]]
"On Aug. 17 in Brooklyn’s [[Eastern Parkway Arena|Eastern Parkway]] little [[Henry (Pappy) Gault]] met California’s [[Billy Peacock]] for the North American version of the title and Gault relieved of the honor by the challenger Peacock in 12 fairly exciting rounds.popular in the U. S.
[[file:Martin.Eddie.jpg|right|100px|thumb|Cannonball Eddie Martin]]
"This was during the so-called Golden Twenties when boxing rings from coast to coast were overrun with the little busy bees. Every hamlet had its bantamweight fighter and how the public loved them! The turnstiles clicked so merrily whenever they performed that they should have been called the Golden Bantams. Like the cocky birds from which they derived their names they waged unceasing warfare upon each other. They became standard bearers of the places they represented and local pride was as much at stake when they met each other as professional standing.
[[file:Sanstol.Pete.jpg|left|50px|thumb|Pete Sanstol]]

"They were born too soon, the bantam battlers of the 1920-1929 era. That group would have been enough to take care of today’s rapacious demand of TV for talent. Back in those days, there was so much action among these little guys that by themselves they kept boxing interest high throughout the country....

[[file:Bell.Archie.gif|right|75px|thumb|Archie Bell]]
"The Gault-Peacock battle was the first bantam title bout ever viewed by the TV audience. How different things were 30 years ago when the public thrilled to action among the little fellows almost every night in the week throughout the country. Those were the golden days of the golden bantams!”

*'''Manager''': [[Billy Delaney]] (as of 1908-09-17, per ''Tacoma Daily News'')
*'''[[:Category:Abe Attell Gallery|Abe Attell Image Gallery]]'''

== Biography ==
'''Abe Attell''' was said to have been born Albert Knochr (more correctly ''Knoehr''), per the ''Tacoma News Tribune'' of July 24, 1924. He was the brother of [[Monte Attell]] and [[Caesar Attell (Lightweight)|Caesar Attell]], and the uncle of [[Gilbert Attell]]. Abe and Monte were the first set of boxing brothers to hold World Titles. According to the Calgary Albertan Attell also won the Canadian Lightweight Title on September 5, 1910 stopping Billy Launder in seven rds. Numerous contemporary newspaper sources reported that Attell won the Canadian Lightweight Title i.e. The Ottawa Citizen,The Montreal Star,The Baltimore Evening Sun, The New York Tribune just to name a few. Though he apparently never defended the title and wasn’t Canadian.
After his professional boxing career ended, Attell operated a shoe store in New York City, doing a good business selling to customers, fans and sporting people who came in to see him. He gave up the shoe business circa June 1916 to go into vaudeville.

His name was linked to the infamous Black Sox baseball scandal of 1919: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sox_Scandal] [http://www.loc.gov/rr/news/topics/sox.html]. He was alleged to have been the "bag man" for gambler Arnold Rothstein and to have given $10,000 to several Chicago White Sox players. They had in return agreed to throw the World Series with Cincinnati. When the scandal broke in 1920, Attell went to Canada for a year to avoid being subpoenaed.

Attell died at New Paltz, New York.

== Amateur Record ==
The following 16 entries, usually included in Attell's record, have all been proved to be amateur affairs, according to the research of Deepak Nahar in the San Francisco Call. All of these fights occurred in 1900.

*Aug. 29, Kid Dodson, San Francisco, W ko 2;

== Biography ==
'''Abe Attell''' was said to have been born Albert Knochr (more correctly ''Knoehr''), per the ''Tacoma News Tribune'' of July 24, 1924. He was the brother of [[Monte Attell]] and [[Caesar Attell (Lightweight)|Caesar Attell]], and the uncle of [[Gilbert Attell]]. According to the Calgary Albertan Attell won the Canadian Lightweight Title on September 5, 1910 stopping Billy Launder in seven rds. Attell won the Canadian Lightweight Title but never defended it.

After his professional boxing career ended, Attell operated a shoe store in New York City, doing a good business selling to customers, fans and sporting people who came in to see him. He gave up the shoe business circa June 1916 to go into vaudeville.

([[:Image:Al McCoy.4568.jpg|Photo 2]] - [[:Image:Al_McCoy_and_Charley_Goldman_ca._1910-1915.jpg|Photo 3]])

'''Al McCoy''' had many managers during his boxing career, including A.I. Rudolph. T. Brennan, Jack Daugherty (until 1914), Dan Morgan (1914-18) and Leo Flynn (1919). Morgan, who was McCoy's manager during his best years, was well known to often call in to the wire services and give false results of fights in which his men appeared. Of course his aim was to make it appear that his fighters were better than they were. Therefore, for the period 1914-18 in McCoy's career, one should (if possible) avoid newspaper decisions from wire reports.

McCoy was trained by [[Charley Goldman]], who would later go on to train undefeated world heavyweight champion [[Rocky Marciano]].

The linked record contains only verified fights. McCoy's published record does not accord with the results of research (probably containing duplications and other errors), and it would appear best to just list verified possible fights here, adding others whenever evidence justifies. Here are other fights that have appeared in his published record:

1908: Unknown, W ko 2.
1909: Dave Seide, W ko 6; Willie Scott, ND 4; Mickey Flynn, ND 6.
1910: Tommy Riley, ND 6;
1911: Jack Ryan, W ko 3; Eddie Hamburg, W ko 2; Billy Shea, ND 12; Billy O'Brien, ND 6; Jack Langdon, ND 12; George Niedoff, ND 6; Spike O'Neil, ND 6.
1912: Dick Grant, W ko 3; Jack Beekman, W ko 2; Sailor Maher, W ko 3.
1918: Billy Neal, L Pts 10; Chicago Tommy Murphy, ND 10.

A number of fights often attributed to Al McCoy actually belong to Al Thiel (New Al McCoy), whose record may be consulted for comparison. The fights of Al McCoy and Al Thiel have been verified as much as possible, to keep their fights separate.

== Factoids ==
* He was the brother of Los Angeles matchmaker [[Babe McCoy]]. (Their mother was Anna Rudolph, who died in Los Angeles Jan. 21, 1951, at age 86. Ja. 22 ''New York Times'')
* The 24 April 1914 ''Tacoma Daily News'' reported that McCoy had started boxing at age 14 and that his record was 174 bouts so far.
* He was born in Woodbine, NJ, the second of nine kids.
* The family moved to Brooklyn three years later.
* His father was in real estate, and also made a small fortune raising kosher chickens.
* When his father forbade him from boxing, Al left home at age 14.
* Died 22 August 1966 in Los Angeles, California.
* McCoy is a member of the [[International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame]].

Turned professional sometime in 1915. Before he turned pro Cohen won a New Jersey amateur title in 1915 at 133lbs. In the US Army 1918-1919 achieved the rank of Sargent before mustering out.

Because of a childhood football injury, '''Tommy Speigal''' had one leg shorter than the other, but despite this handicap, he had a very credible boxing career, eventually becoming ranked as high as the #5 lightweight in the world, according to the January 1940 issue of ''The Ring'' magazine. (The correct spelling of this boxer's name is "Speigal." Incorrect spellings by newspaper reports of his day include "Spiegel," "Spiegal," and "Speigel.") He was the younger brother of boxer [[Joey Speigal]]. Spiegal fought World Champions Tippy Larkin, Freddie Cochrane, Sammy Angott, Benny Bass, Chalky Wright, Jackie Wilson, Beau Jack and Bobby Montgomery. He fought Angott three times, winning twice, Cochrane three times, losing twice, but drawing once. He fought Wright, Jack and Wilson twice losing both times to Wright, Beau and Wilson. Besides defeating Angott, he also defeated Bass and Montgomery. Won the Southern Lightweight Title in September 1937 defeating Normant Quarles over ten rds. Unclear at this time if Spiegal ever defended the Southern Lightweight Title.
Won the Pennsylvania State Lightweight Tile in November 1939 and preceded to hold the LW title on and off for the next 3 years.

Tommy Speigal died at the age of 32, on November 9, 1945; his leg injury had eventually led to tuberculosis of the bone, causing his death.

----

The ''Daily News Standard'' of Uniontown, PA, has a number of fights that are not in Speigal's linked record. They took place in the South and there are no dates or locations. These fights are: Felix Gonzales W4, Harry Pierce KO-4, Bobby Bartell KO-3, Earl Newby KO-3, and Harry Sanchez KO-2.

It is likely that most of these fights took place in the Miami area. Speigal also had a number of fights in the Cleveland and Akron area in late 1934 into mid-1935; these fights have yet to be documented. For example, the ''Daily News Standard'' had an article on Speigal dated July 6th, 1935, having Speigal winning a fight in Cleveland. But it gives no location, and does not provide the name of Speigal's opponent or an exact location. It does go on to state that Speigal is home with his parents and fighting out of the Cleveland area. It appears that Speigal was never knocked out in a career that likely spanned close to one hundred and forty fights.

'''Sammy Waltz''' claimed the New England Featherweight Title in the late 1910s and early twenties. He was a solid journeyman fighter for most of his career. His record is somewhat misleading because like many other fighters before and after him--Waltz fought on long after his competitive peak. Waltz in the US Army in 1917 and 1918--although he did not see
any action overseas. He had a number of bouts besides the six listed here while a member of the US Army that are still unrecorded. Held the Connecticut Featherweight Title 1915-16, and 1919-1921.

Much of the linked career record taken from the ''Hartford Courant''. Hartford fights appear to have been newspaper decisions.

the bantamweight from Egg Harbor New Jersey. The May 28th 1921 issue The News (Paterson NJ) has Cohen as the defending New Jersey Lightweight Champion before his June 4 1921 State Lightweight Title Fight against Willie Herman. Unclear at this point in time when Cohen won the lightweight title. Cohen started his boxing career as Frankie Wilson of Orange-January 16th, 1916 edition of the Newark Star-Eagle.

*[[:category:Leach Cross Gallery|Leach Cross Image Gallery]]
'''Leach Cross''' (born Louis C. Wallach, and one of the many boxing Cross brothers--along with Sam, Phil, Dave, Marty, Monte, Tommy and Johnny) began boxing in 1906, taking part in almost 150 ring battles. Although he never won a title, he was known for his gameness and thus was very popular. (See also: [https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn91064011/1913-06-03/ed-1/seq-15/])

In 1916, he retired for the first time after he had acquired considerable wealth, and a dental degree from New York University. (In March 1914, according to documents he filed with the Internal Revenue Service, he had netted $28,000 for the previous ten months. [https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn91064011/1914-03-03/ed-1/seq-13/])

He then went to Los Angeles, where one of his ventures was a private gymnasium. He staged a comeback in 1921, not because of financial distress, but to prove that he could still cope with the youngsters after a five year layoff. Returning to California, he erected an apartment complex, which he managed himself, while still running his dental practice. He soon returned to New York, however, and had successful dental offices on Columbus Circle, in the Bronx and on Fourteenth Street. Defeated three world champions in his career:Mike Glover winning by disqualification in 4, Battling Nelson via newspaper decision, and Ad Wolgast twice-on points and stopping Ad in the sixth rd. the second time they fought!

He was also a boxing [http://www.boxrec.com/official_search.php?official_id=6118 referee] and judge.

According to the April 22, 1920 ''Tacoma News Tribune'', Cross had signed with Universal Studios in Los Angeles to appear in an 18-episode serial entitled "The Vanishing Dagger" with Eddie Polo.

In 1922, after his final retirement from the ring, he had his name changed legally to "Leach Cross."
