Retirements:

Pete Sanstol (USA) 1926-1946 48-26-7 (12) WBA Champion 1936-37
Gustave Humery (FRA) 1927-1946 44-29-2 (29) No Titles Highest Rank: 18
Raul Casanova (MEX) 1932-1946 34-20-5 (17) LABF Champ Highest Rank: 8
Horace Mann (USA) 1935-1946 25-16-7 (8) No Titles Highest Rank: 18
Dick Corbett (UK) 1926-1946 40-37-5 (13) CBU, GBU, EBU Champ Highest Rank: 4

Outlook for 1947: David Kui Kong Young begins another year as WBA Champ and, of his five leading challengers (according to the rankings), only one (Galvani) is still at Prime, so a lengthy title reign is not out of the question. Manuel Ortiz, who is reeling from recent losses to Galvani and Del Rosario, is looking to re-establish his credentials is a credible title challenger. A strong British contingent is led by two titleholders (Foran and Tanner), plus #15 Norman Lewis and Frankie Williams, who is still at Pre-Prime and has just one loss on his record thus far. Spaniard Luis Romero is likely to emerge as a contender for the EBU title. Looking at the current crop of prospects, Aussie Elley Bennett (an “8”) who just got his career underway, seems the most likely to court success. Only two newcomers to the division for 1947, with Cuban Manuel Armenteros (a “6”) the higher ranked of the incoming duo.
