Boxers of the Past

Just wanted to let everyone know I've started a new web site:

http://members.cox.net/boxer561/

It's in the very beginning stages. I am going to cover past boxers who don't appear to have very much info on them. I'm not going to include "full coverage" of their records (I'm providing a link to BoxRec for that), but am trying to write small bios on them covering their boxing career and life stories. There are so many pugs outh there who seem to have "fallen through the cracks" of boxing history - you just don't here about them anymore. I do list a few of my favorites and will have a couple of "non-participant" pages. Since I'm new to this web site "thing", please excuse my mistakes! Feel free to contact me with any comments, advice, suggestions, etc. My hope is to add new pages to the site at least every other month until I run out of space. Then I'll delete "old" pages and add new! Once I become more "proficient" at this, I may move the site to my own "domain" so keep an eye out for that.

From the photos it looks like your father was about 6'6" ?

He makes all the fighters (except Lavorante) look like midgets.

New Additions!

I've decided to include pages dedicated to Nevada's early boxing history on my site. Hope you find it interesting reading. I will be adding more bouts & tidbits as I find them, so come back often!
