    Donnie LaLonde, a platinum blond, gets discounted because he looked more like a model than a fighter, but that sucka had TNT in his left.

    I suppose the Specification Great will eliminate many - does Donny Lalonde qualify ?

    Wasnt Tony Zale classed as a Blonde bomber in his early years ?
    (maybe just extremely Fair Haired ?)

    Wasn't Gene Tunney blonde?
    Hard to be sure, because I (obviously) only saw black/white pictures of him.

    There was no mention in the thread title of "great," just blond, A

    LaLonde was Jean Harlow platinum blond -- striking. Zale was more light sandy haired.

    Hatton looks blond sometimes. Can't tell if he colours his hair.

    Jim Watt was blond, was he not?

    How about Robbert Helenius... not great of course, but at least a contender.

    Good job there's not so many:- thay can't all have 'The Blond Bombshell' for a ring name.;)

    Grachev's a blonde ain't he, but not exactly what I'd call great.
