Herman Weiner
"The Baltimore Banger." A hard-hitting Jewish heavyweight of the thirties, <a href="http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=013703" target="_blank">Herman Weiner</a> made a name for himself when he TKO'd Battling Levinsky in the first round in a January 1929 bout, flooring the ex-champ three times in the first 37 seconds. "You can tell the world I'm through," Levinsky told the press after the fight.
Weiner himself finished with 13 knockouts in 16 wins, although he was also stopped eight times. The attached fighter does well against tomato cans, occasionally surprising a better fighter.
No photo of him, unfortunately.
