Missing Images

Tosti · 01-30-2004, 12:33 PM

I've been collating images for the game (once again a round of applause for cubedrum) and have one on file for all fighters rated 10 and above except for the following

Eddie Booker
Cocoa Kid
Gustav Eder
Al Delmont
Elky Clark
Hank Casey

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful

Cheers

I have photo files for Eddie Booker (don't quite agree with his ratings) and Cocoa Kid. If someone could tell me the format to resample them I will do so. Let me have your email and I will send them.

Boxscribe;
Do you think Booker's ratings should be higher or lower. Don't want to debate. I used to live near his hometown, and I'm just curious what you think.

Hey Boxscribe,
If you would please post that photo of Cocoa Kid, I would appreciate it greatly. Or send to cubedrum@yahoo.com. The format is 140x140, but I would actually prefer the full sized photo scan.

Thanks
Cube

I have altered Bookers ratings in the game and tested extensively against other fighters. The only thing is, I can't remember what the original ratings were!

I feel he should really be rated as a middleweight. He spent the later part of his career at light-heavy after starting at welter. Like Charley Burley, Booker fought out of his natural class on a regular basis and was good enough to KO genuine light-heavies and up. His punching power should be more highly rated, as should his CF and his intelligence - Booker was a very accompllished and smart fighter - a master counter-puncher. Also he was never stopped in over 70 fights (30+ KO's).

I researched Eddie's record for the Cyber Boxing Zone (CBZ) and Boxrec. I also wrote a bio for the 'Black Dynamite' section of CBZ. Eddie was one of the most underrated fighter in boxing - also one of the unluckiest. Check out his record.

Cube, I will send the Cocoa Kid photo ASAP.

Does any one have photos of Aaron 'Tiger' Wade or Harry Bobo. The one I have of Wade is from a newspaper and not great and the one I have of Bobo is with Billy Conn and both are wearing suits.
