Titans of their era, Bob Montgomery, Beau Jack and Ike Williams repeatedly risked everything against one another in a three-way rivalry that came to embody a golden age of 1940s and 1950s boxing.
Hall of Fame lightweights Bob Montgomery, Beau Jack, and Ike Williams contested a historic 10-bout rivalry between 1943 and 1955.
