Hi Classic Boxing Fans.
I need some help in identifying some boxers from a few decades back. I work at a film archive and we have some home movies taken just before the Jack Sharkey-Young Stribling bout near Miami in late Feb 1929. From information I've unearthed it seems Jack Dempsey was asked to publicize this particular match (which was one of a series to crown a new heavy weight champ since Gene Tunney had retired). I've confirmed Dempsey in these pictures, but wonder if anyone could help out with the other men in the following shots:

I apologize for the grainy quality, but these were the best grabs I could get from a 16mm b/w transfer from a film that's almost 80 years old! If anyone can identify any of these gentlemen, I would be exceedingly grateful!
