Jewish greats

Perhaps this is not the ideal thread for this question but I thought somebody might know the answer: what is up with the star of david that Judah is always rocking on his trunks and robe?

He's a Black Jew, like Sammy Davis Jr.

Zab Judah is not a Jew.

I'm pretty sure that Zab is not a Jew. He is of that sect called the Israelites - the Black Jews. It's crazy, but those guys call themselves the real Jews - descendants of Israel - and the Jews that you and I know Zab and the other Israelites call them "the so-called Jew".

There a lot of these Black Israelites around New York City and they sure ain't the most friendly or loving people. Very angry, militant, and most of them hate Jews - that's why they refer to them with that derogatory phrase "the so-called Jew".

I could be wrong about this, but I think I might be right.

Michael Rossman? Beat Galindez once I think and got beat in rematch. Could be wrong.

SHALOM Y'ALL, Hey according to Jewish Law,(which you gotta respect Cause our basic American Laws are based on it -wetha you like it or not!) , If your Mom is Jewish you are - Period!( what you decide to do with it is your choice and Freedom) The fact that your Father is Italian ,or any other Ethnic backround just adds a little mote spice to Life!

Ooops missed Monte too--man I must be getting slow. One other maybe addition is Valentin Angleman who was recognized as flyweight champion of the world by the IBU, but he survived and boxed under the Nazi occupation of France, so maybe he converted. I have a very good Italian boxing record book that lists a number of fighters as being Jewish with what seems to be solid information and this book La Bibbia Del Pugilato has Angelmann as Jewish--so he could be another one to add to your Gold List.
