OF THE thousand? of ring l warriors who traded leather I inside of the hempen strands ( last year, only three really ranked , high in the estimation of the fight i public because of their perform- I' ances in 1932. Lightweight cham-! pion Tony Canzoneri and the two , Maxes, Schmeling and Baer, were about the only stand-outs of one of i the dullest years the fight game has I ever known. Fight fans are hoping that 1933 will provide more ring thrills than its dreary predecessor was able to produce, and the three aforementioned ring stars are expected to figure in some spectacular battles during the next twelve months. No matter how you look at it, 1932 war a miserable year for boxing. The heavyweight championship changed hands on a disputed decision after Sharkey and Schmeling had waltzed through fifteen of the dullest rounds ever seen in a

heavyweight title bout. Many people thought the German had been robbed of his title, and as a result of this widespread indignation over the decision, Schmeling became much more popular in defeat than he had been while champion. Later in the year Max increased his prestige still more by belting out Mickey Walker in eight heats, giving little Michael quite a goingover while the butchery lasted. Joe Jacobs is now saying that Schmeling intends to fight Baer next summer, leaving the return match with Sharkey for the fall. On the records. Baer was actually the best heavyweight of 1932, and many shrewd fight critics think that he can whip Max Schmeling right now. Jack Kearns, who b" the way is very anxious to get Baer under his managerial wing, said recently that he thought the Livermore Lar ruper was the best of the present crop of heavyweights, and that he has the makings of a truly great fighter.
