Lloyd Marshall (June 4, 1914 – August 4, 1997) was an American light heavyweight boxer who competed from 1936 to 1951. Although he never fought for a world title, Marshall was a skilled fighter who faced tough opposition throughout his career (including victories over several former and future title holders). Marshall was considered a member of the Murderers' Row, a group of the most feared black fighters of the 1940s, who were often avoided by contemporary champions.
In June 2010 Marshall was posthumously inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Marshall began his boxing career at the age of 17 and turned pro in 1936. In 1943 Marshall fought for the "Duration" Light Heavyweight Title against Jimmy Bivins. During the bout, Bivins was knocked down in the 7th for a 2-count, and then Marshall was down for nine in the 9th, and at the bell in the 12th. Marshall was then counted out in the 13th to lose the bout. In 1944 he captured the Vacant "Duration" World Light Heavyweight Title with a victory over Nate Bolden. Due to the fact that he fought at his peak during World War II, Marshall never fought for an officially recognized world title.[1] He retired in 1951 after KO losses to Bobo Olson and then Harry Matthews.
He fought 4 fights against other black murder's row fighters: all within the 2-year period of September 1942- September 1944.
