JIMMY McLARNIN
Inscribed and signed photo justifying his nickname, "The Baby-Faced Assassin"
Photograph inscribed and signed: "Best of luck Samuel -/your friend/Jimmy McLarnin". B/w 8x10 overall, image 6x9¼, one surface. Captioned in lower margin, signed in left margin. Irish-born Canadian boxer Jimmy McLarnin (1907-2004) was twice the world welterweight champion (1933-1935). In 1966 Ring magazine ranked him the fifth greatest welterweight of all time, and he is enshrined in the International Boxing Hall of Fame. McLarnin, nicknamed "the Baby-Faced Assassin" for obvious reasons, retired at the top of his game in 1936, after whipping top-ranked boxers Tony Canzoneri and Lou Ambers. Unlike many prize fighters, he saved and invested his winnings and retired comfortably, refusing requests to re-enter the ring but appearing in several films, including Joe Palooka (1946). Lightly toned. ½ tear at bottom center. Lower corners lightly creased. Soiled at lower right. Otherwise, fine condition.
