Who is the best Classic fighter.....

Thanks for that, his name seemingly always comes up when you read about the era,

 

Think I remember reading once that Jack Sharkey took his name from Jack Dempsey and Tom Sharkey.

 

Really? Or are you making it up? I read he took it from the 'Nonpareil' Jack Dempsey. Think you're losing it mate!!! Haha,

 

I think you're right. Though I don't seem to hear much about him on internet chat forums. Unless I'm missing something, he would appear to be somewhat of a forgotten entity. Frankly, for as many huge wins along with competitive losses against all time great fighters, I don't know how any of us could have missed him..

 

Oh yeah i wasn't doubting his validity in this thread, i don't think i recall any threads on him either. Might be better to ask Janitor than me though

 

No problem, I didn't think you were doubting him at all. In fact, thanks for showing interest. I agree, that I would certainly like to hear what other posters like Janitor and Fogey have to say about him. Hell, I don't think I've heard those guys mention him before.

 

It's alright i'm always glad to read about boxers i'm not too schooled on. Yeah i thnk Janitor and the others should do the right thing and tell us some stories on the man if they know any!

 

Could of been, It's a long time ago, before you were born lad haha.

 

he had one with him against JMM

you seem to mention him alot i need to see some of him

 

Nah, I've done a couple and put him in my avatar quite often as well! the Worm is still my favorite EVER!

 

Bobby Watts? Ray Lampkin? Banana Sam?

 

what about the greek ANTON CHRISTOFORIDIS. i have not been here long but i search in the search box and not much came up.

 

Has Donny Lalonde ever had a thread?!?!?!?!? If not, surely it is out of he and Banana Sam.

 

Yeah greatest Greek fighter of all time.
