Lou Ledbetter was a Pittsburgh fight trainer who helped launch the career of "Big Bob" Baker, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound slugger from Pittsburgh's Hill District. Baker won the national Golden Gloves championship before turning pro in April 1949. Later, some of the era's most recognizable fighters, including Archie Moore and Tommy "Hurricane" Jackson, used Ledbetter as a stepping-stone to heavyweight-title bouts. This photograph shows Bob Baker (back row, first on the right), Fred Mans (back row, first on the left), and trainer Lou Ledbetter (front row, first on the left).
