This article is so NPOV that it almost reads as a copyvio from his funeral program. Here are some of the biggest (uncited) POV problems:

  1. Known as a humble man, always wearing one of many of his prized boxing baseball caps, and smoking a pipe, he is widely regarded as the nation's foremost boxing historian, and was known and respected worldwide.
  2. He was a proud active member of HOA (Hassidic Orphanage Assylum) for many years, where he found dear friends for life, and participated in annual events throughout his entire lifetime.
  3. He considered this to be one of his major accomplishments, and although not a bragging man, he often shared this accomplishment of his with others with pride.

Please people, this is an encyclopedia, not a biography written by a relative. This article needs a complete rewrite to conform to Wikipedia's quality standards. Cheers, CP 20:13, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

NPOV changes addressed as requested. Jb0017 18:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Will review it soon. Cheers, CP 00:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

The changes made were very superficial and only addressed the direct issues, not the overarching problems. I've cleaned it up myself here, but it needs far more work to be an acceptable article. Cheers, CP 01:52, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
