I´m talking about Jack Blackburn and Freddie Steele. Do you rate those guys? Where? What do you think about them as fighters? Their resume? I´m not so sure what to make out of them, both strike me as atgs but nobody ever talks about them.
Steele impresses me more and more everytime I look into him. Know **** all about Blackburn, I must remedy this.
Steele moreso than Blackburn for me. I legitimately believe Steele at his best was one of the 5-10 best Middleweights to lace up the gloves.
Agreed B...Freddie Steele was virtually unbeatable until His second fight with fred Apostoli, when he suffered a fractured breatbone.This painful injury, mixed with the death of his longtime mentor and manager,was the beginning of the end for the great Freddie Steele...Just flattening the tough Ceferino Garcia and RUGGED Gus Lesnevich, stamped Freddie Steele as a top 10 middleweight of alltime..At his best he had it ALL ...
Yes, Steele is very impressive. What do you think how a fight between him and Dick Tiger would look? Both are impressive wins, I´m more impressed with his wins over Ken Overlin and Fred Apostoli though. Both were in their primes and at their best. Lesnevich was still somewhat green adn the Garcia fights were only for 6 rounds. :silly
