Yeah, I think you've taken the cake right there.

I'll throw out Benny Leonard, Lew Tendler, Freddie Welsh, and Willie Ritchie, just to add to the discussion. Then again they were about 20-30 years prior, and as such wouldn't qualify by your criteria.

Birt's one would be the one i would go for if someone hadn't already. I'll say Lou Ambers, Henry Armstrong, Baby Arizmendi and Barney Ross just bridging the eras.
