A small grainy pic of Babe Hunt has been posted here before. Has anyone come across a better one?

Cap, I don't have any Babe Hunt photo, but I feel like I should try really hard to find one, with all the help you've given ME. This website is really my only exposure to old boxing photos, these days though. I know one way I found a few photos, IF the guy was either significant at the time, fighting locally, in a not so big town, or better yet, a local fighting locally, old microfilms sometimes have their photo, just before the fight. But then, you'd have to be in his hometown, to obtain the last. Plus, I almost guarantee you know that already. Wasn't he an early 1930's, possibly late 20s heavyweight, around the time of Jack Sharkey?

Whoa! Way better than the one I found. Did you find it on the web or in a magazine?
