How would you rate Jimmy Thunder

He was top 20 at best at his peak

Mediocre defense, below average speed, average power, shaky chin.

His main positive attributes were physical strength, good conditioning and a busy style.

He did get a disputed decision over a fading Tubbs.

 

And a decision over Tubbs in late 94. Tubs was fading but still decent. It was a bad decision in my view, though

If you haven't seen it, his brutal OK loss to Mike "The Bounty" Hunter is on YouTube. That loss put him back but he was briefly top 20ish in the mid 90s.

 

You've pretty much nailed it. Were it my call I might throw a minus on there, but that is hardly an impassioned opinion; leaving him a B flat is a-okay with me.

 

Big puncher but limited.fought in the uk in the early 90s and got destroyed by Derek Williams who was commonwealth champ.I was surprised when he did well in the states latter.Made the most of his talent.

 

George had a single stoppage win in the last four years of his career.

 

The Bounty was amazing in this fight

 

I would have put his power above average without hesitation but it's been a while and i could be wrong.

I thought his problem was that he just wasn't that good of a fighter and in addition he had that shaky chin as you state. I thought power might be his best asset but again i might be remembering wrong.

 

Solid journeyman fighter, who gave his best. Real good power, he just did not have a lot natural talent, but
did the best he could with what he had.

 

He wasn't even that big of a puncher most of the time. All those muscles didn't exactly translate into power.

 

The thing I really miss about Tuesday Night Fights was watching guys like Thunder, Jeremy Williams, Corey T Rex Sanders, Darroll Wilson, Samson Pouha, Sherman Griffin, Wolfgramm, Maurice Harris, etc.
These guys while not world class, were solid fighters, and they most importantly were fan friendly. You got good fights watching these guys and they were on regular tv. Nothing sucks worse when you pay for a PPV night of boxing and all the fights fail to live up to expectations.
