	~~<br clear=all>~~
	~~According to [[Dixon Stewart]] in his October 14, 1930 United Press report:<br>~~
	"A product of New York's Lower east Side, Singer was carefully 'built up' - and it has been charged, carefully 'protected' by gangsters - until he was accorded a chance at the championship without even meeting a ranking lightweight.
	~~[[file:Singer.Al.jpg\|right\|125px\|Al Singer]]~~
	Singer's advance was featured by 'invisible punch' knockouts against third rate opponents (notably [[Kid Wagner]]), and technical knockouts made possible by intervention of kind-hearted referees who stopped bouts when his opponents were on their feet and anxious to continue. Because of the popularity of Hebrew boxers, [[Madison Square Garden]] made Singer its feature drawing card and Al was given the championship chance against [Sammy] Mandell over more deserving contenders. Singer's victory over Mandell with the resulting charges of 'fixing' and 'doping,' cost the new champion much of his popularity, even in New York, and boxing followers in other parts of the country never have accepted Singer as a legitimate champion. A knockout by [[Boxer:Jimmy McLarnin:009024\|Jimmy McLarnin]], welterweight contender who was unable to stop Mandell in 35 rounds of fighting, added nothing to Singer's prestige."
	Who is Dixon Stewart? Much of this article seems absolutely spurious--Kid Wagner is rated by Chuck Hasson as one of Philadelphia's greatest Junior Lightweights--and what could induce a champion to throw away his crown? Also if Singer's record is checked one will find it filled with top flight fighters--it is true that if he got hit, he was down. Also if one reads the Ring from this time period is consistently lauded, or is one to believe that the Ring was mobbed up. Singer's off-spring should sue for libel unless these allegations can be proved.
