Those are beautiful pictures, Tunney is not that muscular but he was fit to go 12 rounds. Joe Louis looks awesome. Levinsky and Canzoneri look like right characters.

Thanks man. Some fantastic photographs. I have not seen most of them before and they have caught some great historic fighters and fights there. I don't mind admitting some put a lump in my throat and make me want to do more as an artist. You can almost smell the anticipation and hear the murmur of excitement from a growing expectant crowd. It meant so much more to many watching back then and you can feel that sense of simplicity, clarity and focus reflected back by the fighters to some great photographers.
