<b>What Next?</b>

Following Dean's lead, I am volunteering for one division of the rating labors. I am going to rate several Jewish boxers, primarily from the 1920's and 30's. Using the website <a href="http://jewsinsports.org/" target="_target">jewsinsports.org</a> and print sources in addition to Boxrec, I will draw up the following boxers who are missing from the game.

<b>Heavyweight</b>
Henry Cooper (1935-46)
Jack Gross
Art Lasky
Ted Sandwina

<b>Light Heavyweight</b>
Alex Bader
Abie Bain
Jack Bloomfield
Abe Feldman
Yale Okun

<b>Middleweight</b>
Phil "K. O." Kaplan
Augie Ratner
Erich Seelig

<b>Welterweight</b>
Oakland Jimmy Duffy
Willie Harmon
Andre Jessurun

<b>Lightweight</b>
Phil Baker
Joe Benjamin
Phil Bloom
Lew Feldman
Joe Glick
Meyer Grace
Julie Kogon
Johnny Mendelsohn
Jack Portney
Solly Seeman
Benny Valgar
Sammy Vogel
Joey Zodda

<b>Featherweight</b>
Barney Abel
Benny Brostoff
Sammy Dorfman
Bernie "Schoolboy" Friedkin
Danny Frush
Maurice Holtzer
K. O. Mars
Joey Sangor

<b>Bantamweight</b>
Archie Bell--already finished and posted
Joe Burman
Mickey Cohen
Young Montreal
Hymie Wiseman

<b>Flyweight</b>
Davey Adelman
Phil Tobias
Manny Wexler

If anyone has already rated any of these guys--or if anyone has other Jewish boxers to suggest--please let me know.
