	'''Earl Turner''', an African-American, was Oakland's most popular boxer during the 1940s and among the most popular ever in the city's history--along with [[Johnny Gonsalves]] and ~~Oakland~~ [[Jimmy Duffy]]. Turner had good power and heart, but was hampered by a questionable chin and susceptibility to cuts. He was capable of losing to fighters who were considered to be below him in level, but often fought valiantly when overmatched, as was the case when he fought [[Sugar Ray Robinson]] in 1949. He was known, at least in his prime, for his ability to reverse a loss in a rematch.
