McFarland -- of course, IRL, he never got a World title shot (ditto for Langford and Wills from the same era). In my Uni, so far he's lost three times (all to Jack Britton) in 1913, 1915 and 1917.

Jan. 1923 JWW Division Profile

Title Bouts: None, so far. Plans are underway to stage the initial WBA title contest in 1923.

Total: 9 RL: 5 TC: 4

RL by Career Stage:
Prime - 2
Pre - 1
Beginning - 2 (2 New)

Rated: 3
800+: 0
500+: 1
200+: 2

Jan 1923 Rankings (Perf Pts and Changes from Jan 1922 in Parens):

Champ: None
1. Pinkey Mitchell 23-5-1 (12) (694) (NC)
2. Spug Myers 12-5-1 (6) (242) (new)
3. Basil Galiano 16-5 (3) (169) (-1)

Comments: Most of these guys have been moving up to fight WWs until the ranks of the junior division start to swell. Only Mitchell has had even modest success, cobbling together an impressive six-bout win streak before his unsuccessful try for the WW WBA title. Art Magirl (TKO win) and Ray Long (SD) were his best 1922 wins. Myers was busy, with five bouts in 1922, managing a MD over Georgie Ward and a draw with Jimmy Fryer. A MD loss to Jimmy Clabby and a DQ versus Hamilton Johnny Brown explain the relatively low PP total. Galiano dropped two bouts to Phinney Boyle (one via a DQ and the second, a MD 10); he also lost to Frithjof Hansen and only managed to beat Sid Burns, who was headed into retirement.

Looking Ahead: No superstars in this division, and this will continue to be a fairly short report for the next few years. Two newcomers, Mushy Callahan and Johnny Jadick, are expected to develop into title contenders sometime down the road.
