EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a moment of triumph and camaraderie are three legendary boxers: Bob Armstrong (alias Bob Johnson), Eddie McGoorty, and Ed McMahon. This rare photograph, taken by the renowned Bain News Service in 1912, showcases these African American sportsmen at the height of their careers.
Bob Armstrong, a heavyweight champion from Alabama, stands tall alongside his contemporaries. His impressive physique and confident gaze are testament to his formidable fighting skills. Eddie McGoorty, also known as Edwin Van Dusart, was a middleweight contender who fought in the early 20th century. Ed McMahon's presence adds an air of mystery, as little is known about this boxer beyond his association with these two boxing greats.
This photograph not only celebrates their achievements but also highlights the significant contributions African American athletes made to the world of sports during this era. The image has been preserved by Heritage Images and now serves as a valuable piece of history, offering a glimpse into the lives and careers of three remarkable individuals who paved the way for future generations.
