    That to your knowledge, has never had a thread on the classic fourm?

    Who is the best classic* fighter, that to your knowledge, has not even been mentioned on this board?

    *Classic being a fighter who retired pre 1990

    Or questioned why he quit in No mas?

    And there was the Heavyweight KO artist from Brooklyn in the 80s, who's name escapes me, but he surely deserves a mention, so I will see if i can boxrec' him!

    I do not think Leach Cross has been mentioned!

    And I do not think Jackie Fields has had a thread, but surely Welsh has? It would be a sad day for the forum, if that was not the case.

    Well, you got me there. Teeto was one step ahead hahaha. Perhaps we could also ask some much needed questions like

    In what order do you have the Fabulous 4?

    The Fab 4 - rate your own faves...

    The first fight Duran was the second fight SRL....

    and many many other unanswered questions....
