Rosenberg failed to make weight in a title defense with Bushy Graham. Rosenberg won the non-title fight, but he and Graham were suspended for having a secret agreement between them. The title was then claimed by Teddy Baldock, Charles "Bud" Taylor (NBA 1927-1928, vacates), 1924 Gold-medal Winner Willie Smith and Bushy Graham. Smith outgrew the division in 1928; Graham gave up his claim in 1929. "Panama" Al Brown copped the vacant crown in 1929
