Olympic boxers

Here are four fighters who represented the U.S. at the 1948 London Olympics; they are not in the game.

Two of the Olympic boxers <i>are</i> included: Wallace "Bud" Smith, who finished fourth in the lightweight division in London, and light-heavy Chuck Spieser (although his name appears to be misspelled in the database).

Two of the team members never fought as pros: Washington Jones, the Olympic middleweight, and Horace Herring, the silver medalist in the welterweight division. (Unless Horace Herring is Jimmy Herring.)

At all events, here are the four missing boxers: heavyweight Jay Lambert, who hailed from West Jordan, Ut., the home of the Fullmer boys; featherweight Eddie Johnson; banty Bill Bossio; and flyweight Frankie Sodano. Both Sodano and Bossio fought professionally as featherweights.
