Any career wrecked by inability to get fights?

[granberry]

jimglen,

Thanks for calling attention to Bert Gilroy.

For those of use familiar with who Jimmy Wilde is,

this quote has great significance:

Jimmy Wilde: "Bert Gilroy is an excellent boxer."

Jimmy Wilde was one of the best fighters in the entire history of boxing.

When he calls another fighter "an excellent boxer" that has great meaning.

And some people want granberry out of this forum? I do not get it!!!

Don't despair, Elmer. The forum no longer wants him gone --- we simply have him on Ignore.

What makes collin's stooge irene think he speaks for the "forum" ?

LOL

Walcott wasn't avoided, he just lost too often. He had no legitimate complaint for not getting a title shot until he did.

I guess that can be argued, but rack up the names, the figures. Hell, alot of Walcott's fights were done on short notice, so hell why wouldn't he have lost from time to time?

Yeah, Archie had to wait an unusually long time, and Charles got famous at Heavyweight although his best years were clearly at light heavy. Somebody mentioned McCallum. McCallum could get fights, just not the ones he really wanted (Hearns, Leonard,etc). I"m curious about the Mitch Green post cause it did seem like Mitch had periods of great innactivity.

Mitch Green himself said that Don King blackballed him.Not that his extracirricular activites helped him any.

JK Granberry,

He said he was really glad that someone has posted those links to his antics at CBZ.



I got funny little Elmar on ignore. It's great.
