Comments: Britton and Loughlin are set to join Badoud at Post in 1923. Demsky is still a Pre-Prime. Bermondsey Billy won all four title contests and took the WBA title as well. Ted Kid Lewis recovered from his title loss with a solid UD 10 win over Britton; he has won six of his last seven to cement his position as #1 contender. McFarland suffered a UD 10 loss to Loughlin but rebounded to regain the NABF belt and scored impressive TKOs over Hobin and Alberts. Shevlin registered a win, a draw and a loss, finishing with a UD 10 over ex-Champ Magirl. Badoud slipped a bit after a 2-2 year. Alberts won four of five, including two NABF title contests, but stumbled versus McFarland. Loughlin won three of five in 1922, besting McFarland and blasting out Basham in five. Basham started well by eking out a SD over Robson, but recently fell to Loughlin (KO'd) and dropped a UD 10 to Britton. Levine dropped a UD 10 to Uren but surged to the top ten by virtue of his strong results in USBA title competition. Rounding out the top ten was this year's top debutant in the rankings, Aussie Paul Demsky, who recovered from his third loss (a UD 10 to Schlaifer) with four consecutive wins, including UDs versus Fred Kay and Ray Long, but his big win was a 7th round KO over ex-Champ Tommy Uren.

Other Notables: Tommy Robson dropped from #7 to #11 after a winless 1922, losing a TKO to Marty Cross and a split duke with Basham. Uren slid all the way from #2 to #12, downing Levine but faltering badly when facing the youthful Demsky. Finally, ex-Champ "Oklahoma Whirlwind" Art Magirl slid six spots to #16, managing a single UD 10 over Long (his only win in the past two years) but, now at End career stage, another recovery is highly unlikely. Marty Cross, at #13, defeated Robson and drew with Joe Dundee; his career record now stands at 26-14-4 (9). CBU Champ Frank Barrieau is next at #14, going 2-1 in title bouts; his 25-14-1 (10) is worth 728 PPs. Several young fighters remain unbeaten, including Irineo Flores, whose 16-0-1 (13) career start is good for 15th spot, based on impressive wins over Joe Dundee (MD 10), Joe Simonich (KO) and Jack Sparr (SD). Pete Latzo added four more wins to run his mark to 15-0-1 (9), good for the #17 spot; Young Corbett III and Joe Dundee are among his recent victims. Johnny Adams also remained unbeaten, with a UD over Alger after being held to a draw by Hamilton Johnny Brown; his 14-0-1 (7) career start is good for 19th spot. He is one spot below another debutant, Jimmy Jones, whose impressive wins over Pete August (via TKO), Billy Alger, and Morris Schlaifer place ran his record to 13-1-1 (6).

Prospects: Alf Mancini got off to a 13-0 start before stumbling in his last bout, where he was bested by Bobby Tracey in a MD 10. Tommy Freeman, whose only loss was a SD 10 to Mancini, wound up the year at 11-1 (9). Jack Zivic kept his unbeaten slate intact with a MD 8 over Tracey and a UD 10 over Willie Harmon; he wound up the year at 10-0-1 (6). Harmon finished at 9-1-1 (8) stumbling in his two bouts with Zivic (one loss, one draw). Tracey found the going rough, finishing at 8-3-1 (3). Charley Feraci, Eddie Roberts and Pat Corbett each won their first five bouts.

Retirements: Three veteran WWs hung up the gloves in 1922.

Arthur Evernden (UK) 1908-22 28-22-1 (14) No Titles Highest Rank: 17
Dick Nelson (DEN) 1904-22 38-27-4 (24) WBA Champ Highest Rank: 2
Sid Burns (UK) 1910-22 22-27-1 (10) No Titles Highest Rank: 25

Looking Ahead: Wells is likely to be forced into a rematch with Lewis for the WBA belt; McFarland is obviously itching for a title shot. Badoud is likely to face one of the Brits in his next EBU title defense. It will be interesting to see if any of the young boxers (Demsky, Flores, Latzo and Adams) can continue to advance against tougher opposition. Only five newcomers in 1923, but one of them is Jimmy McLarnin from Canada, an all-time great WW.
