FROM THE BOOKS
Beryl David Rosofsky (his real name) remains history's only Jewish prizefighter to win two different world championships. He lost only 4 fights in 78 professional bouts. He was never knocked out. He was never even knocked down. Barney, you see, was a genuine pro. A strange pride carried him to the heights.
