Didn't have a chance to post last night to here, yesterday would've been Barney Ross' 105th Birthday
He was one of Boxing's Greats, the Undisputed Champion in 3 different weight divisions, and has the distinction of being the Greatest Jewish boxer ever.
My friend, Douglas Century, wrote a biography on Ross. He posted some comments about Ross which I've archived to my site

Also, an earlier entry to my site - a distillation of Ross' boxing tips from his out-of-print/hard-to-find book, Fundamentals of Boxing:

Happy Birthday Barney Ross!
p.s. Sly Stallone used Barney Ross' name for his character from The Expendables movie series
p.p.s. wonder if 'lkfmdc'/Ross sifu is related? lol at me
