CHRIS DUNDEE

[Ambling Alp II]

What a tremendous article Enrique Espinosa wrote on Chris Dundee. I can only think of one other boxing person who logged in as many successful years at the top of their (boxing) profession, and that would be Herman Taylor of Philadelphia who started working for Jack McGuigan, promoter of the National A.C. in Phila., in 1901 and becoming a promoter himself in 1912 until 1975.

Chris and Herman Taylor were well acquainted and did a lot of business with each other over the years. What I wouldn't give to hear the negotiations between these two before a deal was finalized.

Guys like them did a lot for boxing. Promoters like them put together a lot of good matchups over the years. You don't see much of that anymore.

I know, it sucks. I was trying to restart the thread, hoping that we could move on from his BS.

I think Chris Dundee was an interesting figure in boxing. The "Regional promoters like him, Taylor, Don Chagrin, Aileen Eaton,George Parnassus, Sam Silverman etc. really helped the sport by putting together good matches.

If we all put him on ignore he may go away.

I will put him on ignore now as I have been guilty of encouraging his stupid posts.

I suggest the rest of you think about doing the same.
