Thanks for that bennie that’s exactly what I thought, but online there were articles saying he won the senior ABAs in 1984!!!? People say he lied about his age, and was 2 years older. If so he’s a lowlife beating up kids as a near adult. Again this is unconfirmed but he def drove up to one of his junior titles with a tache and legs hairier than a gorilla..::

No need. I'm just curious...... Ps I don't think you can upload images here, you can only link from an image URL.... though I've had mixed success LOL. But you can upload to an image hosting site like:

And then post the URL

Re: hyped/highly rated fighters where you were like "da f@ck?"

Beautiful boxer… who went life and death with Curtis Woodhouse.JamesPhilips wrote: ↑16 Aug 2021, 07:39Gavin was a beautiful boxer, but had that teenaged body. Never seemed to grow into a man. I thought that would hinder him as a pro. Could’ve done with a strength and nutrition coach. He was a little scummer by some accounts so never really liked himBard of Boxrec wrote: ↑15 Aug 2021, 16:01 Frankie Gavin.
People were still hyping him after he’d gone life and death with Curtis Woodhouse.![]()
Good amateur but folks simply couldn’t look past that

Remember Baby Joe Mesi as a highly touted contender. Popular Noo Yorker with a big fan base. Built his rep
knocking over club fighters in 10 rounders before stepping up with some big name shop worn old timers.
Monte Barrett was mugged on the cards, before he survived a hellacious last round with Jirov in his first foray
at heavyweight. Ring magazine had him front page and Ray Leonard signed him up and there were whispers of a stadium fight with a post Williams/McBride ....Tyson.
Allan Green was touted in certain quarters, on the strength of a top am career. Was highly vocal when not invited to the Super Six and then fell well short when subbed into the tournament as a replacement. To be fair, it was Ward who
schooled him, before a 40 yr old Glen Johnson stopped him. The hype was over.

Mesi retired unbeaten. I think he had medical reasons.

Duncan Dokiwari looked like a beast, was a Commonwealth heavy champ and Olympic bronze medalist. But the aforementioned Guinn popped his bubble and he never did a thing. Guinn basically was a journeyman within two fights as well.
