		The ruins of Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, Sid Terris, Joe Glick, Ruby Goldstein, Sammy Mandell, Al Singer, and Louis “Kid” Kaplan litter his resume.
		When two or three names define a fighter’s legacy now; and squabbling goes on for an eternity before a fringe contender steps in with the current Hula Hoop, McLarnin beat future and past champions Fidel La Barba, Jackie Fields, Pancho Villa and Bud Taylor.
