And two more ...
... from the 1940s with pics: Jimmy DeMura and Hector Constance. The latter is a re-rate (he had a losing career record, but was somehow a 6) of a TBCB file with new record, bio and two pics.

Four more ...
... from my 1940s universe, starting with the interesting duo of unbeaten heavyweight Vince De Venti and one man who could have been three, Chevo Carvajal (read his bio for details).

These are great additions Mark, thank you! I have not abandoned the big list, just gone on hiatus for a bit while moving photos.
Much appreciated!

Tonight's batch includes ...
... four from the 1930s and two from the 1950s, starting with the 1930s guys. First, Clyde Chastain (two pics) and Frankie Caris. The wiley Chastain was a thorn in Slapsie Maxie Rosenbloom's side, beating the champ once and gaining two draws in three non-title meetings.
