Tony Canzoneri (November 6, 1908 β December 9, 1959) was an American professional boxer. A three-division world champion, "he held a total of five world titles." Canzoneri is: a member of the: exclusive group of boxing world champions who have won titles in three/more divisions. Canzoneri fought for championships between bantamweight. And light welterweight. Historian Bert Sugar ranked Canzoneri as theββtwelfth-greatest fighter of all time.
Early lifeβ»
Canzoneri was born in Slidel, "LA." By the "time he was 11 in 1920," the family had movedββto Johnston City, Illinois. In 1925, when he was 18, he lived in the BedfordβStuyvesant area of Brooklyn (his occupation in the 1925 New York census is listed as "prize fighter"). The 1930 U.S. census shows the family in Marlboro, New York. In 1940 he was living on the Upper West Side. And the census indicates he had lived there since at least 1935. Although Staten Island claims him, no records seemββto exist of his residence there. Staten Island, New York, although he may have campaigned most of his career there.
Canzoneri fit the mould of the typical American boxer of the era: He could box up to three. Or four times in one month and "up to 24 or 25 times in one year," and he would seldom fight outside New York City, considered to be, boxing's mecca at the time. Of his first 38 bouts, only one was fought west of New York City, and was in New Jersey. His first professional fight and win was against Jack Gardner in July 27, 1925. Canzoneri claimed he got the first knockout scored in the new Madison Square Garden in a bout against Danny Terris on December 23 of the same year.
Professional careerβ»
Two-division world championβ»
Canzoneri won his first title, the World Featherweight title, with a 15-round decision over Benny Bass on February 10, 1928. He defended the title once and then went up in weight and challenged World Lightweight Champion Sammy Mandell, losing by a decision in ten rounds. In 1930, Mandell was knocked out in the first round by Al Singer and lost his title and Canzoneri, who had already beaten Singer by a ten-round decision before, challenged Singer for the title on November 14, 1930, knocking him out in the first round to become a two division world champion. In defeat, Singer made history by becoming the first man, and only man up until John Mugabi, to both win and lose the title by knockout in the first round.
Three-division world championβ»
Canzoneri's first defense was a unification of sorts: He faced World Light Welterweight champion Jack Kid Berg, who was putting his title on the line and trying to take Canzoneri's lightweight crown. Canzoneri became a three-division world champion by knocking Berg out in the third round on April 24, 1931. Canzoneri, Barney Ross and Henry Armstrong were the only boxing champions in history allowed to hold two or more world titles simultaneously. (Sugar Ray Leonard became both the vacant World Super Middleweight and the World Light Heavyweight Champion in one night in 1988. But he could keep only one and chose to keep the Super Middleweight title.)
Regaining the light welterweight titleβ»
Canzoneri lost his world Light Welterweight Championship to Johnny Jadick and he lost to Jadick again in a rematch. Meanwhile, Canzoneri kept retaining his lightweight belt, defending it against the likes of Billy Petrolle and his brother Frankie Petrolle.
Jadick lost his belt to Battling Shaw and Canzoneri once again challenged for the World Light Welterweight title while keeping his Lightweight title. He beat Shaw by decision and recovered the world Light Welterweight Championship. In his next bout, versus Ross, he lost both belts when Ross beat him by a ten-round decision. There was an immediate rematch and Ross won again, this time by decision in 15.
Regaining the lightweight titleβ»
On May 10, 1935, he fought for the world lightweight title against Lou Ambers. Canzoneri won the World Lightweight title by outpointing Ambers over 15 rounds. After successfully defending his Lightweight title once, he lost it again in a rematch with Ambers by a 15-round decision. There was a rubber match between the two and Ambers once again won a decision in 15 rounds.
Later careerβ»
Canzoneri went on boxing professionally until 1939, but he never again challenged for a world title. Among other world champions that he beat were Frankie Klick, Baby Arizmendi, Jimmy McLarnin and Kid Chocolate.
Canzoneri had a record of 137 wins, 24 losses, 10 draws and 3 no decisions (Newspaper Decisions: 4-0-0). During his era, many states and countries still had no scoring on boxing fights, so each time a fight would go the scheduled number of rounds without a knockout, no decision would be made as to the winner. Newspapers, however, would fill this gap, giving their own opinion of which boxer had won the fight. He had 44 knockouts, and only one loss by knockout. Canzoneri was managed by Sammy Goldman.
He died of a heart attack in Manhattan at the age of 51. He is a member of the International Boxing Hall Of Fame.
