Quite clear footage of Panama Al Brown doing easy sparring in the second half of the clip. Its a bit sped up though.

Some guys that haven't been mentioned:

Ricardo Lopez
Hilario Zapata
Masao Ohba
Kid Akeem Anifowoshe
Jibaro Perez
Howard Winstone
Eusebio Pedroza
Roger Mayweather
Patrick Ford
Ken Buchanan
Don Lee
Chong-Pal Park
Vonzell Johnson

The atomic spider - Tshifhiwa Munyai. 5'9" of bantamweight, how he makes 118 is beyond me.

Chong Pal-Park a beanpole? He was a big old lump for a Korean but he was far from a beanpole, he was pretty chunky, certainly up top.

Michael Nunn
Johnny Bumphus

Munyai is a lovely fighter at 118 but he hasnt got it in him to be effective higher up which is a shame as im a fan

Milton McCrory was a Welterweight and over 6' Tall.

A world Class fighter but not a great one, was lucky to get a decision over Colin Jones.

Right you are. I was confusing him with Chung-Il Choi.

My Dad use to mention the famous Welsh flyweight,
Jimmy Wilde a lot when we watched boxing shows.
His nickname was ,"The Ghost With A Hammer In His Hand".
I think my Dad must have met him when he was younger.

Has anyone here mentioned HW Champion
Bob Fitzsimmons?
aka Ruby Bob.
