Could this (possibly) be previously unseen footage of Caractacus.?

Post by prewarboxing »

Caractacus has some fascinating theories about historical fighters on film. I have been rivetted by his detailed analysis uncovering rare footage of Harry Greb at Blackpool and Luther McCarty filmed 14 years after his death.

He has inspired me to go looking for early footage of the great man himself and I have unearthed this sensational footage.

Could it actually be Caractacus?

The guy with the accordion is a bit dodgy and should be avoided, but the little chap on the right, with the protruding tooth, could well be him. What do others think?

that was 40 years ago so of course I'm not so nearly as nimble,
so this is how I usually do it on a Friday night these days,
when I move the furniture in the living room to the sides and pretty much do this for 2 or 3 hours until I get tired enough.
