Fred Apostoli
Freddie Steele
Al Hostak
Solly Kreiger
Ken Overlin
Vince Dundee
Teddy Yarosz
Marcel Thil
Gorilla Jones

..... Or any other prominent 30s middleweights/title holders ?

These guys are rarely discussed. They VERY RARELY get mentioned among the all-time greats lists by historians or boxing history enthusiasts.

I dont know why. Some of them boast some impressive records. Billy Conn reckoned Apostoli was his toughest opponent. I've read Freddie Steele was a terrific boxer, Hostak a vicious puncher. Etc. etc.

I have seen Steele before and he looks as good as you read.
