Jews "Dominated" inside the ropes? Doubt it.
Sure there were great Jewish boxers between the wars, but there were also great black, Irish, Italian, etc. boxters in those years, too. Fact is, in the early part of this century, no one group dominated boxing - in fact it was one of the most ethnically diverse and democratic spots going. Not to detract from the great Jewish boxers of yore, but to say they "dominated" is just divisive, triupmphalist hyperbole that ignores the facts.
