Best Jewish boxer

[TheGrimReaper]

who do you think is the best active jewish boxer?


zab judah does not count

[chimba]

Abe Attel..

[BigReg]

Daniel Judah

[thesandman]

Jebus. Although I think rumours of his comeback may be spurious.....

[Punisher33]

Willie Pep- all time

[GuyMcGuffin]

Willie Pep- all time

Not MOT

[TheGrimReaper]

roman greenberg has all the skills but seems unmotivated

[brooklyn1550]

Roman Greenberg

[thunder06]

Benny Leonard

[Fedor Em]

Today it is Roman Greenberg

All time it is

Benny Leonard
Barney Ross and
Abe Attell

[andyZOR]

Max Baer

[JMonster]

i forget his name, but he's an up and comer...his nickname is "the jewish star" or something like that...he is good...last name Saliva or something. and i didn't even know that the judah's were jewish

[SouthLondonsFinest]

few english jews..

kid Ted Lewis
Jack *kid* Berg

[huki]

It can't be Roman Greenberg. There are C level Jewish journeymen that are better than him. He's the worst of the worst when it comes to undefeated HW protected "prospects".

[jaywilton]

I am guessing,Yuri Foreman.

[huki]

I am guessing,Yuri Foreman.
Yeah, that's probably the correct answer.. even though his last fight on the Cotto-Judah undercard was one of the most boring fights on HBO since Brock-Timur Ibragimov. It was even worse than the Andre Dirrell match.

benny lenard greatest lightweight/jewish fighter of all time

[RichDam]

Rom Greenburg is vastly overrated and is nothing but a plodding heavy with average skills.

[africandawg]

DIMITRI SALITA and he fights for BOB ARUM :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy

[africandawg]

i forget his name, but he's an up and comer...his nickname is "the jewish star" or something like that...he is good...last name Saliva or something. and i didn't even know that the judah's were jewish


DAMITRI SALITA & he fights for Bob Arum--Still being nursed along

[PH|LLA]

Salita is his name. He's pretty good.

[David UK]

Of all time has to be Ted Kid Berg or Max Baer

Nowadays, Roman Greenberg is the only one I can think of of the top of my head, although I'm sure there's some decent American jewish boxers

[RUSKULL]

Rom Greenburg is vastly overrated and is nothing but a plodding heavy with average skills.

True. It's time he steps up or steps out.

[samuraijack]

Yuri Foreman hands down

[TheGrimReaper]

dmitry salita and foreman are both young and undefeated, I am very exicted to watch foreman's upcoming nabf title fight vs andrey tsurkan, I read it is being televised by Versus.

[heerko koois]

Bear......or Slapsie maxi....

[Langford]

Best Jewish fighter of all time is Benny Leonard.

Pep was not Jewish, he was Italian, and not an Italian Jew.

The Baer brothers do not really count.

The best Jewish fighter at the moment is Salita. Greenberg is overprotected and not all that good.

[Vantage_West]

i forget his name, but he's an up and comer...his nickname is "the jewish star" or something like that...he is good...last name Saliva or something. and i didn't even know that the judah's were jewishvery jewish...and for some reason he isnt seen as jewish becuase he is black:think

[Kegsy]

Salita or Yuri Foreman IMO.

[JETSKI]

very jewish...and for some reason he isnt seen as jewish becuase he is black:think

Why not? Africa is close to Isreal.

[TheGrimReaper]

zab judah is not jewish because he says he is not jewish

What's so special with the Jewish boxers that we need to identify them? I'm just curious because I never saw a thread asking who is the most popular Muslim boxer, Buddhist boxer or Christian boxer.

[TheGrimReaper]

i was just wondering who people thought were the best because i am jewish

[Boom_Boom]

Best Jewish fighter of all time is Benny Leonard.

Pep was not Jewish, he was Italian, and not an Italian Jew.

How come the Baers dont count?

Tis true and interesting. Although Judaity is more than a religion, but also entails an ethnic identity (Hebrew). For some people at least, there is no contradition between being Jewish and secular. Excuse my ignorance, but I'm not sure whether one can be Jewish and non-Hebrew (eg., whether the ethnically African Judah would be allowed to convert to Judaism).

[lzolnier]

why dont u create best Muslim boxer, Buddhist boxer or Christian boxer thread,if u feel so strong about it.

Agreed, this comment striked me as well. I don't understand why discussing boxers' affiliation with one particular religion, infuriates others. This supposed cry for absolute equality and silence is probably nothing more then vailed anger towards another group.

[Bummy Davis]

Saleta

[the_churn]

Robert Cohn.
