Dennis Ryan
Can any Hall of Fame be complete without a “Chairman of the Board”?

Danny Kenny

Danny Kenny
This may not be our favorite Cagney film, or even our favorite Cagney boxing movie, but as Danny Kenny, we have a boxer who continues well past his prime to help out his family financially. The film is just ok, and we admit we put him here, because, well, it’s James Cagney!




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
City for Conquest (1940)

Actor:
James Cagney

Role Portrayed:
Boxer

Why You Should Vote For Him:
Cagney is a legend. Enough said!

Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
There are way better (and more successful) boxers to choose from on this ballot.

Coach James Gore

Coach James Gore
The balance between academics and sports is explored long before what is going on in the current NCAA. In the 1933 film, College Coach, James Gore is hired to bring winning ways to Calvert University and he does so in any way possible, including fielding non-eligible players. Just imagine if he had today’s boosters!




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
College Coach (1933)

Actor:
Pat O’ Brien

Role Portrayed:
Calvert College Football Coach

Why You Should Vote For Him:
This is one of the first villainous and unscrupulous Coaches in cinema.

Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
We preferred when he wanted to win at all costs. His change of heart was not a favorite of ours.



Burleigh "Tiger" Sullivan

Burleigh Tiger Sullivan
Harold Lloyd was one of the few actors who was equally successful in silent movies as he was in “talkies”, and it was as a nerdish milkman turned Middleweight contender that he had one of his most successful roles.


In the Milky Way, Lloyd is Burleigh Sullivan who through a freak circumstance appears to have knocked out the Middleweight Champion of the World. He didn’t, as the milkman ducked, but it leads him to compete in the sport by way of crooked promoters that fixed fights to lead up to a huge payday against the champ.

You already know what happens don’t you? Grimes becomes the world champion through his own skills and everyone leaves the theatre happy!



The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Milky Way (1936)

Actor:
Harold Lloyd

Role Portrayed:
Boxer

Why You Should Vote For Him:
Anyone who becomes a Champion deserves a look.

Why You Should Not Vote For Him:
He won a ton of fixed fights! There is no room in this hall for “cheaters”!
