    But look who I defeated in my career.....
    Charley Burley
    Cocoa Kid-kod
    Fritzie Zivic

    I didn't look anything up, just that Overlin is proably the most underrated of the era now, with the Murderer's Row being somewhat revealed in recent years with books and such.

    It is like having a completely useless superpower; I can name an obscure Welterweight from the 30s no problem, but bump into a colleague at work and the mind goes blank!:oops:

    That's the thing though TB, here on the classic, we all fancy ourselves as having a bit of a superpower in that kind of way, but you kill these threads and quizzes everytime and prove everyone dam mere mortals:lol:

    You need to start letting us get a few victories in mate, it's not fun anymore:lol: (kidding)
