    Does anyone know what this era of light heavyweights was so elusive on film? Obviously Bob Foster dominated most of this period, but how come guys like Eddie Cotton, Roger Rouse, Andy Kendall, Jimmy Dupree, Vicente Rondon, Eddie Bossman Jones, Hal Carroll, Allen Thomas, Jorge Ahumada, Chris Finnegan, Mike Quarry, and Pierre Fourie, who were most of the dominant light heavies at that time, rarely got filmed? This era has always been both fascinating and frustrating to me as an aura of mystery kind of surrounds these fighters, and some of their fights were classics, yet info on them is quite hard to find.
