    PS - What did Courtney actually weigh, 97 lbs maybe? And did he get sand kicked in his face? I just need these stats to feed into my simulator.

    The boxer chosen cannot, however, be able to beat Peter Brady.

    Really have to thread the needle.

    I will gladly be quoted as saying, Peter Courtney is the worst fighter I have ever seen on film, or will ever see.

    Well that’s okay, I’ve got Danny Partridge on my short list, he beat the Brady and perm out of Greg, not Peter “The Volcano” Brady.

    What about that lispy little tattle tailer Cindy?

    Surely Courtney could beat the speech impediment and miserable attitude out of that squawking kid.

    Otherwise, it’s even money vs Alice, trained by Sam the butcher. She’s on the cusp.

    I have often wondered, why Courtney boxed the way he did in that short Corbett clip. I don't think anyone could possibly look that bad... unless it was on purpose! But why??

    I’m guessing he was just playing the stooge, Corbett was the star, Courtney a necessary opposing player but insignificant otherwise.

    Marty Kid Cutler could look a bit histrionic sparring with Jack Johnson - one right hand he threw that missed by a country mile looked like he was bowling a cricket ball. Howzat?

    I knew there was a really bad boxer lurking in the back of my mind - he finally surfaced to my conscious level for recall, presenting Mullet Man:-

    He likely has more Mullet too - and I might have to grab that Mullet and slap you silly with it.

    Here's boxrec's bio on Courtney which gives some details on his "engagement" with Corbett. Courtney's weight is given as 190 lb vs Corbett's 195 lb. I might have to review the old film again, from recollection I don't know that I would've given Courtney much more than 170 lbs if that.

    I've long had the suspicion thst Courtney basically just bullshitted his way into fighting Corbett.
