And another T225 of Harlem Tommy Murphy. 144/250 down, and 7/10 Murphy's. He's a total common, but he was a very good contender who fought an absolute ton of matches with hall of famers, champions and the elite. Not that a single person will ever care, but this is probably his rookie card.

Thanks Greg. Unfortunately when you get good colors on these it seems like the red ink on the top of the card almost always bleeds through on the back. This one is not an exception.

Lannon here is a much less notable heavyweight. He fought some good boxers but has no real big win on his resume and never was a serious contender for Sullivan's crown. He was a friend of Sullivan's and traveled with him for a time fighting numerous exhibition matches over several years. He had an exhibition with Corbett at least once, and apparently was scheduled to fight Peter Jackson but it didn't materialize.
