Outlook for 1942: With the ascension of Archie Moore to the LH throne, there’s a strong possibility that the merry-go-round of different titleholders (Rosenbloom, Conn. Heuser, Lewis, Booker, Lesnevich, Fox and Shucco) may come to an end, but no guarantee, as several of these are still in Prime shape and remain top contenders. GBU Champion Freddie Mills had a down year, but look for him to bounce back and rejoin the top 10. Charles, Yarosz, Bivins and Maxim form a strong group of prospects coming up the ranks in future years. Henry Hall is the best of the four newcomers set to join the LH ranks in 1942.
