Fellas, Uncle Ted Sares just posted a thread on the ESB front page in regards to aging veteran---Saoul Mamby.....:bbb I like Mamby; alway have, as well....:yep I realize Saoul Mamby fought on well beyond his peak days / years but, he did fight everybody and their brother........ YES! I know, Mamby lacked fire-power in his fists.... BUT! His defense and chin was air tight and solid... Saoul Mamby's pro record was something like 45-33-6 (20) Kos'... Well, close anyway.... NO! Not pretty.... However, I think we NEED to look over his resume to scope out the names of the guys he fought.....:think Hey, maybe its just me, but I'd vote for Saoul Mamby to be inducted up in New York in a heart-beat......:hey Any takers who care????:huh MR.BILL:hat
Man... haven't thought about Mamby in a long time; I'll have to rewatch a lot of tape before coming up with a half-intelligent opinion on that. Which fights would you most recommend watching from different time periods of his career?
Once again, the kiddies of ESB do NOT give a rats ass..... If it aint "Pacquiao" or "Marquez" nobody gives a flying duck..... It must all be recent............ CHRIST!! SR.BILLARDO
Unfortunately, the fights that I suggest are ancient / hard to find..... You would need to scope out his career from the late 70s to the middle 80s..... Myself, I just reviewed his '84 title shot against Billy Costello earlier tonight... Mamby was age 37 and in great shape, but he dropped the decision... Mamby fought until age 60.......... Peace..... MR.BILLatsch
I wouldnt have him in there but Im sure he could make it in based on current criteria. His best win is probably over a faded DeJesus..other than that its pretty slim pickings. Much, much better fighter then his record suggests.
No way, if losing to good competition is a criteria, many deserved to be in the HOF and frankly his resume aint that great upon closer look. Im from NY, Mamby is a compelling story there but still NO
No he doesn't deserve to be in the HOF but he was a very skilled boxer and I enjoyed watching him.Very smart and crafty.
