So who's going to sell an organ or appendage for this? It's an incredible patina and a further testament to Langlitz, but Lord have mercy...

Ron Barton wore an S!? I'm not buying it, figuratively and literally.

Wonder if anyone will fall for it?
My thought exactly.
Yeah, I love how the seller disclaims that, "[They] are happy to offer a full refund if the item is not authentic." That makes me so dubious automatically!

Not me. I wouldn't fit on it.
Ah, sorry, amigo. I just meant it to be funny, not to waste your time.
I'd actually fit in it were it legit, but I wouldn't pay 1/8 of that price and neither should anyone with a working noggin.

I'd be suspicious of this one too. I'm not sure even the lightest of boxers would need a jacket quite that small?
I call fake too! According to wiki, Ron Barton was a light-heavyweight, which is 168 pounds (76 kg) and up to 175 pounds (79 kg).
I fight at the same weight and i am 6'2" and wear a size 42 to 44. No way a pro boxer would fit in that size S!

How does a guy weighing 175 lbs with that musculature fit in that jacket?

Unless it was from his pre-boxing childhood!
Strange choice of a ting to fake, though..... unless the seller, if they are faking it, figured an obscure figure like that would be less questioned than a bigger name?

Oh, gosh. I thought he'd died. Glad to know he's still kickin'.
