Fantastic fighters the average Joe hasn't heard of!

So many fighters over the course of history...Just a few

Al Hostak...Middleweight Champ 38-40
Elmer 'Violent' Ray...Heavyweight Contender in the 40's
Michael Carbajal...5 time Light Flyweight Champ 'Little Hands of Stone'

 

Tommy Loughran

Bob Cat Montgomery

Midget Wolgast

Ellesworth Webb
Denny Moyer
Gasper Ortega
Freddie Little
Sot Chitalada
Love Allotey
Bunny Sterling (on his night)

 

Dude if you're around people who doesn't know who the hell Tommy Loughran is you might wanna consider meeting new people.

 

Good mention. I saw Mitchell come to Sacramento and beat a good fighter in Tony Lopez {even though they called it a draw} then comeback and win a clear decision to take the title officially.

Very good boxer with a nice skillset.


Simon Brown is a name that has been overlooked. He was a great force at Welterweight and was good enough to move up and devastate the great Terry Norris. He came along a few years too soon. Wouldve liked to see him face the Oscars, Tito`s and Quarteys.

 

Folks mention he looks unimpressive on film but keep in mind the next thing out of Foutts mouth was key,
"Forget his record. He carried more opponents than an undertaker-
When allowed to fight freely he could do everything, box punch ect"

His hometown draw with Steele in Seattle as a visiting black fighter back in them days stands out.

 

Had a pretty competitive rematch too apparently. Didn't happen often against Steele.

 

By Average Joe do you mean non-boxing fans? Because if that's the case, most of them haven't heard of any fighters outside of Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson, Roberto Duran, and Marvin Hagler.

Maybe I'm giving the general public too little credit, but I doubt many of them know of any fighters aside from the heavyweight champ, and one or two mega-stars from the lower weights.

 

when i get drunk i tell average joes all about battling nelson and ad wolgast

 

Saol Mamby

 

William "The Prussian" Sheriff

 

Colin jones

 

Jones is a puzzler in here.
