Great picture. Not sure if I've ever seen it. Thanks for sharing.
McLaglan was a very successful and excellent actor. He won the academy award for best actor in "The Informer." But I will always remember him for one of my favorite films, "Gunga Din," and the classic "The Quiet Man," with John Wayne.
Several boxers appeared in the classic film "Requiem for a Heavyweight," with Anthony Quinn. Among them were Muhammad Ali (as Cassius Clay), Willie Pep, Jack Dempsey, Barney Ross and Abe Simon.
One of my favorite boxers, George Chuvalo, appeared in the remake of "The Fly," with Jeff Goldblum.
Vito Antuofermo appeared in "Godfather III."
Link to Jack Palance's boxrec?
Floyd Mayweather
There is conflicting info on him out there. He fought under different names, but his official boxrec record is 0-1-0, but his boxrec bio goes into his fights in a little more detail. His IMDB bio says he fought at least 15 fights. I recall reading a more detailed bio of his life that talked about his boxing days. I believe he was mentioned in the autobiography of Graziano or LaMotta and they recall seeing him working out and sparring at the gym.
