Your Boxer BIO- Raw Data Off the Top!

[SlimTrae]

Similar to a game thread @NoSavingByTheBell did, each poster responded to the prior poster's question. The point is to see what do we know of fighters off the top, no search!

Without using any info, internet search, what would be your bio on a boxer? Raw data meaning no adjectives, opinions, just rate them on your stats, fights, rounds. When you respond to the fighter given to you, then give the next poster a name for them.



I chose for the next poster Salvador Sanchez!

This poster (only) please give 2 names. One for the person after you & one for me, so I get the same task!

[powerpuncher]

I’m confused what this means. Maybe give an example of what you are trying to get at

[Spicoli]

Salvador Sanchez: Great hair . Off the top no cheats, died way to young at 24. Won Featherweight title in brutal war with Little Red Lopez. Quality power, fast hands and a good beard. Promoted by Don King..I think. Ummmm defenses . Won rematch with Lopez by ko. Defended against Juan Laporte in a shoot out. Staked his super fight claim to fame knocking out tough as nails undefeated former Spr bantam champ Wilfredo Gomez. Was actually the underdog. He had arrived! Fought little to not known Azumah Nelson in a war. Stopped the future hall of famer and great fighter..only man to do so.. in the 15th round and was killed a few weeks later in a car accident when stardom and status had only just found him. He and young Chavez would have been a total masterpiece. Not sure if that's what Slim had in mind, it's filled with opinion too .

Two names...Ronald Winky Wright and Mike McCallum

Ok, I got Ronald Winky Wright.

Winky was a high guard defensive counter puncher. '
His weapon of choice was the jab.
His breakout fight was with a LW who moved up named Shane Mosley.
Winkys. Defensive guard and weapon of choice (jab) would also earn him a win over living legend Tito Trinidad.
The former Light Middleweight champion would fight Middleweight champions Jermaine Taylor to a draw and lose a decision to Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins.



@powerpuncher If someone asked me if I knew of a fighter named Winky Wright, off the top of my brain that's what I would say!
Show a bit where one's own level of knowledge is when a person can name any fighter from any era. One is forced to raise their game or bow out and say: I don't know who he is We can't know them all, but we can try!


So you or next one up got Mike MCallum.

And I failed, I peaked at the end to make sure he was a Jr. MW. I was right, but nevertheless I broke my own. Fortunate I didnt have to change anything.

Mike MCallum was known as the body snatcher because he annihilated the body of his opponent. Michael Watson was finding it hard to breathe after the first few rounds because of the body shots. Mike MCallum also had an incredible chin.

Mike MCallum was a Kronk fighter for a bit and wanted to face Duran but when Thomas Hearns got the fight he left them. He was light middleweight champion and enjoyed destroying a Kronk fighter Milton McCrory. He also spectacularly knocked out Donald Curry with one punch, he would never do that again in his career. He was also the first man to beat the hard punching Julian Jackson (great fight!)

Mike MCallum moved up to middleweight and lost for the first time to Sambu Kalambay and everyone left him. He beat my favourite fighter Herol Graham in a close contest. He avenged his loss to Kalambay and fought James Toney for the Hagler belt. I thought he won both fights against Toney but the first was close and he got wobbled at the end.

After that he got old but still beat an Australian to win light heavyweight title and fought James for a third time. He also lost to Roy Jones. He was a proud Jamaican and trained some fighters but is fat now.

Next fighter is Herol Graham.
