Come One, Come All: Help Is Needed

Ted Spoon · 06-20-2007, 05:08 PM

Hi gang, what’s cookin’?

Time to make a pit stop and net the input of ESB.

What Ted Spoon would like from you is to name a handful of fighters you would like to see captured; this is how it will be delivered:

As Ms. Book starts to get into the flow of Queensbury rules, she takes on the following structure:

Era Background - Every ten or so years it marks down what was going on at the time with regards to war, racism and (boxing) politics, plus the typical ring/glove sizes and round lengths used.

Fighter Profiles - Then from Heavyweight to Flyweight we have our stars of the ring in detail, during that period:

-Inside the ring: Fighting Style, Campaign, actual Record

And

-Outside the ring: Anecdotes, Personality, Life after the ring/demise

Now, Ted Spoon is asking for your personal essential, favourite and forgotten fighters. This book will be comprehensive to say the least, but in order to deliver in the fighter profile department, one must carefully take the rind off the joint.

Give us your gems.

Is this thread a figment of my imagination? Is this really 'the one'?

Tis Ted Spoon, back to invigorate the agenda-laden noggins of the usual, and new suspects.

Now, kindly, will the boxing jury start naming some fighters for the good of Boxing literature.

The obscure outstanding talents. Thank you, Manassa.

This naming helps give Ted Spoon a scope of profile volume. There are many less descript who deserve a place in the book.

McGrain · 06-20-2007, 08:35 PM

Jack Chase is an interesting subject.
