Elbows McFadden. In '89 he went 1-1-1 with Gans, and proved that this was his level by becoming the only man to enforce a ten count over Kid Lavigne and dropping the narrowest of decisions to Frank Erne. These 5 twenty-five rounders all took place over a six month period. I bet Elbows is as tough as anyone already in the IBHOF.
I happen to be on the voting committee for both the modern and old-timers. They gave us 45 modern and 50 Old-Timer boxers and we had to pick as many as 10 in each category, But only the top 3 from each will be voted in. Just to let you know, the 3 that were voted in from both categories, were among those who I voted for. Memphis Pal Moore was among the others I voted for. Here's a list of all the Old-Timers that were on the list: 2010 International Boxing Hall of Fame Old-Timers Joe Bowker bantamweight 40(14)-8(5)-1 - 1900-1919 Jimmy Britt welterweight 40(5)-12(0)-24 - 1926-1934 Jackie Brown flyweight 108(40)-24(5)-9 - 1925-1948 Newsboy Brown flyweight 56(11)-13(1)-5 - 1922-1933 Johnny Buff bantamweight 31(14)-12(7)-3 - 1919-1926 Frankie Burns bantamweight 43(24)-6(1)-10 - 1908-1921 Eddie Campi bantamweight 55(10)-9(2)-9 - 1908-1918 George KO Chaney featherweight 98(76)-21-1 - 1910-1926 George Chip middleweight 41(36)-15(3)-3 - 1909-1922 Jimmy Clabby middleweight 84-23(5)-22 - 1906-1923 Young Corbett II wellfeatherweight 58(47)-15(12)-12 - 1896-1910 Leach Cross lightweight 33(21)-10(4)-4 - 1905-1921 Frank Erne lightweight 33(15)-6(4)-13 - 1891-1908 Harry Forbes bantamweight 85(44)-16(11)-25 - 1897-1922 Tommy Freeman welterweight 170(81)-20(5)-21 - 1920-1938 Larry Gains heavyweight 114(60)-22(14)-5 - 1923-1942 George Gardner middleweight 43(32)-11(6)-7 - 1897-1908 Jimmy Gardner welterweight 62(39)-8(3)-21 - 1900-1917 Mike Glover welterweight31(16)-5(1)-5 - 1908-1916 Dave Holly lightweight 34(29)-8(3)-1 - 1900-1910 Leo Houck middleweight 91(22)-11(2)-9 - 1902-1926 Young Peter Jackson welterweight 78(59)-24(2)-26 - 1895-1914 Rocky Kansas lightweight 63-11(3)-6 - 1911-1932 Joe Knight light heavyweight 103(51)-19(1)-10 - 1928-1938 Charles Ledoux bantamweight 97(81)-23(3)-5 - 1909-1925 Tancy Lee flyweight 12(7)-7(6)-1 - 1911-1926 Willie Lewis middleweight 50(35)-17(11)-10 - 1901-1915 George (Elbows) McFadden lightweight 45(25)-12(3)-21 - Eddie McGoorty middleweight 65(44)-18(6)-11 - 1900-1922 Jock Malone middleweight 90(32)-25(5)-10 - 1916-1931 Cannonball Eddie Martin bantamweight 82(30)-13(3)-4 - 1921-1932 Billy Miske heavyweight 45(34)-3(1)-3 - 1913-1923 Young Mitchell middleweight 5(5)-0(0)-4 - 1885-1893 Memphis Pal Moore bantamweight 107(11)-25(1)-25 - 1913-1930 Tod Morgan super featherweight 133(30)-44(4)-33 - 1920-1942 Mike O'Dowd middleweight 47(35)-7(1)-3 - 1914-1923 Pedlar Palmer bantamweight 45(5)-15(9)-4 - 1891-1919 Emile Pladner flyweight 104(39)-16(3)-13 - 1926-1936 Wesley Ramey lightweight 141(11)-29(4)-12 - 1929-1941 Jack Root light heavyweight 46(27)-3(3)-3 - 1897-1906 Petey Sarron featherweight 96(24)-24(1)-12 - 1925-1939 Dave Shade welterweight 130(17)-27(2)-59 - 1918-1935 Harry Smith middleweight 50(37)-7(1)-2 - 1928-1932 Jeff Smith middleweight 75(35)-14(4)-3 - 1910-1927 Mike Twin Sullivan welterweight 28(17)-6(5)-14 - 1901-1914 Sid Terris lightweight 95(13)-13(5)-4 - 1922-1931
Great to see Harry Smith's name on the middleweight ballot. Mickey Walker wanted no part of that guy from what ive been told.
Very interesting list, hh. Biggest surprise (to me, anyway) is probably the omission of Johnny Risko!
