Israeli boxers

[oztheuzi]

I have seen many Israeli athletes started being competitive in many other sports. Are they any quality fighters from Israel?
I would assume that with so many former Soviets living in Israel, that they must have a few high caliber boxers.

It's not their sport. I don't think a *** likes to give anything to anyone, that includes punishment (which is a major part of boxing).

I don't know of any Israeli boxers off hand, but ***s in general were hugely successful in earlier era's when the competition was thick. Benny Leonard and Barney Ross are among the 25 greatest fighters ever p4p.

I know it isn't what you were looking for, but maybe you'd be interested in this list.

nor Israeli for that matter...Zab Judah recently converted to Christianity but was born and raised ***ish. His Father Yoel is a devout *** (a Black Hebrew Israelite)...and Zab's brother Daniel who is a light heavyweight boxer is also ***ish. 30's Heavyweight Champion Max Baer is one of the more famous ***ish boxers.

Max Schmeling wasn't ***ish...his trainer was. He was know for having risked incarceration for hiding ***ish kids during the **** reign/era.
