Was just passing thru and read that you needed a Jewish Mc. While it wasn't his birth name (Rudolph), the middleweight boxer Al McCoy was Jewish. Unfortunately nicknamed the "cheese champion" he did hold the middleweight title, albeit marginally, for several years. Then there's Eddie O'Keefe, but it wasn't at all unusual for Jewish boxers in dem ole days to use Irish monickers. Quite a few Smiths, but I could never find a Jones.
