Samuel Lazzaro (August 6, 1903 – March 31, 1982), better known by his boxing alias Joe Dundee, was an American boxer. He was the brother of Middleweight Champion Vince Dundee. During his career, he was recognized as the World Welterweight Champion for a period of two years. Dundee fought Pete Latzo for the World Welterweight Title at the Polo Grounds, winning via majority decision. He lost his crown when he was disqualified in two rounds during a bout with Hall of Famer Jackie Fields. Among his noteworthy bouts is a draw with Lew Tendler and a technical knockout victory over the famed Mickey Walker. Dundee was inducted into the Maryland State Athletic Hall of Fame in 1959.
