Seelig was the middleweight champ of Germany when Hitler rose to power. On the eve of a title defense, Seelig was threatened by Nazi goons, according to his biography at <a href="jewsinsports.org/profile.asp?sport=boxing&ID=210" target="_blank">Jews in Sports</a>. Seelig fled first to France, then to England and the U.S. He was stripped of his titles, and to this day Germany has never restored them.

In the midst of this upheaval, he lost two fights to IBU middleweight champ Marcel Thil. Then he lost to Gustave Roth, the middleweight champion of Europe.

Once he came to America, though, Seelig settled down. He knocked out the incomparable Mickey Walker in seven rounds in December 1935--the Toy Bulldog's last fight. Then he outpointed Paul Pirrone and moved up the ranks of middleweight contenders, despite a TKO loss to Harry Balsamo.

After beating Ken Overlin and fighting Teddy Yarosz to a draw, he lost to Fred Apostoli and then a rematch with Overlin. Even so, he got a title shot against Al Hostak, who held the NBA middleweight crown. Hostak kayoed Seelig in the first--the only time in his career Seelig was ever counted out.

David;
Thanks for Seelig and Bloom. They are excellent, welcome database additions. Keep up the good work!

[jrmorgan56]

I agree. Great stuff!

Heres a few more low-level straw-weights to again fill out the division.

First up is Katsuaki Eguchi. He's the brother of Kusuo who I posted earlier....neither were very good...but they actually did face each other in the ring with Katsuaki losing to his brother. Besides that he didn't face anybody in the game.

next up is Mawanda Sineko who only faced one fighter in the game...losing a 12 Rd. Unanimous decision to Khulile Makeba (whose rated a 2 in the game). Sineko's biggest claim is he was never KO'd or TKO'd. Then again he never faced top flight competition...but still he must have had a fairly strong chin.

the game rated him a 3...probably because of his decent chin (these numbers seem to have a huge influence on the overall rating)

Here is Star of the book This Bloody Mary is the last thing I own. Featherweight "Sweet C". Colin McMillan. He advises Audley Harrison, He was supposed to be the next big thing, but had a recurring shoulder injury which impacted his chances. Considered to be an all around good guy of the sport.

Here is an important historical figure from the lightweight division who was champ in the twenties.

Like Jimmy Barry, I just assumed Goodrich was in the game ... and you know what happens when you ass/u/me. Thanks again, Dean.

"Sweet" post, Crusadecat!

[djday45]

Sorroy for the delay on my next forgotten black fighter, the great Harry Lyons, but I was awaiting some crucial info on him from the Caramel Covered Kings website as much info on him is sketchy.

anyway here he is.

Manager Bruce "the Mouse" Strauss (whose own pugilistic claim to fame is that he was knocked out on 6 continents)

He won the USBA Flyweight title in 1992 and successfully defended it once before losing a 12 round decision to Jose Luis Zepeda (who I added earlier)

He won the IBO Flyweight title in 1995 and held it until he retired in 1998.

Me made a short comeback 3 years later and just wasn't the same. Steve Molitor won by TKO in the 5th to send him back into retirement.

He is 0-3 against fighters in the game-
Steve Molitor(6E) L-TKO5--Fight Scotty as End
Michael Carbajal(12E) L-KO10-Fight both as Prime
Jose Luis Zepeda(6E) L-PTS12-Fight both as Prime

Mel and Dean;
Great minds must think alike, guys. Olson and Vaca were on my to-do list. Thanks for saving me the work!

To accompany Dean's rating of Jimmy Goodrich, here are some lightweights from the Leonard and post-Leonard era, including some who participated in the elimination tournament to find a successor to Leonard. (Goodrich won the tournament, of course.)

First up is Joe Benjamin.

[David Myers]

Next is Bruce Flowers, another of the Jewish fighters that I've been rating for those who are interested.

Flowers beat Goodrich twice and also defeated Ray Miller, Tommy Grogan, and Spug Myers. He split with Stanislaus Loayza (who is coming), and lost to some of the best fighters of his day, including Jackie "Kid" Berg, Billy Petrolle, Honeyboy Finnegan, and Sammy Fuller.

[David Myers]

The only time he was knocked out was by Benny Leonard in a lightweight title bout.
