Vistaman,

I have photo's of ALL of the fighters you mentioned. I'll post them here tomorrow (Aussie time). I also have photo's of a fair few Australian boxers from that era. As for McNamee, I think he was Aussie WW champ at one stage, and eventually got ranked at #8 LHW of the world in 1943. I also looked after an ex-boxer who trained with Jack Johnson under the tutelage of Ambrose Palmer. He said Johnson was a tough and rugged man out of the ring as well. One boxer who interests me a lot from that era is LHW Jackie Marr who beat the great Dave Sands (record attatched).

Cheers,

Shane.
