Hello guys, looking for info on former top contender and Canadian Champion Vic Foley.
His record from boxrec, 67wins - 19losses - 29draws, which is pretty darn good and interesting in that he had 29 draws (?) I think it's safe to believe a good few could have went Vic's way...
I'm also told that Ol' Pop Foster kept a 'young' up & coming Jimmy McClarnin well away from Foley then a fighter coming into his last years but still a top performer and Champion...
Foley fought for a world title (Tod Morgan) and all the top men of his day with plenty of distance wins and losses, Boxrec reports a lot about these contests he was obviously a well noted and favoured fighter. He took the Great Tony Canzoneri the distance over 10 rds, as well as fighting in Britain at the end of his career.
He must have been quite a fighter!
Thanks Guys, Jim.
featherweight contender VIC FOLEY

Your are the best Rob... and I knew you'd have some news or tid-bit about FOLEY.
I've recently met his nephew and he assured me Vic was one of the top men, and of course the little I have discovered about him confirms that! Any info on Vic would be great.
God what boxing could do with great old Champions like these men... Do you think the sport will be 'big' in paradise, God I hope so!
See you at ringside. Jim.

Hi jim... yes I do tend to collect stuff on a variety of people and as you can see one of the articles is about my dad. I have been putting a lot of canadian material together in the last month for a guy in Canada and came acroos some good material.
I will send a few of them later. I will also see if there is any more on the news site about him as it gets added to quite often I have stack on Jack Reddick. - bit of a bias as he and dad were very close pals in those days.
