Fictional Heavyweights...

Cap · 10-16-2005, 08:18 PM

For those using Fictional fighters, I've found a few, as yet, unidentified boxers' pics you can use.

Let's see...We'll say this guy was Bert Gilpatrick from Leeds, England. 1924-1929. Started in the boxing booths before landing some work in big city rings. Fought between 175 and 185. Promoted as the "Leeds Lightning-bolt".

No.2 uh...Battling Hanson HW Seattle WA. 1930 to 1934. Toured the west coast circuit after the Great Crash threw him on the dole. Fought mostly 4 and 6 rounders, padding the records of more talented heavyweights.

No.3 alias Gus Bronkowski, Brooklyn, New York. 1938 to 1941. Quit a limited boxing career to join the marines after Pearl Harbour.

No.4...is Joe Hoffman. The Bronx, NY. 1935-1939. Fought mostly at light heavy before moving up to fight the big boys for more dough.

No. 5 ....Steve Corrigan. Cabbagetown district of Toronto. 1930 to 1935. Smallish heavyweight. Quick with a good chin but not much pop. Fought locally and in Buffalo.

No.6...alias Lon Edwards (born Herman Eckstein) HW. Chicago. 1930-1937. Known as "The Anvil" cause he could take a helluva shot.

Barney "The Killer" Fife. Heavyweight. Well, maybe not. More like a featherweight. A small featherweight.

CONN CHRIS · 10-19-2005, 08:28 PM

Never under estimate Mr. Fife. (He does have that bullet in his left shirt pocket after all.)

CONN CHRIS · 10-19-2005, 08:36 PM

Slow, clumsy heavyweight with a big hook, a granite head and great bloodlines.

Cap · 10-22-2005, 11:22 AM

George England.(?) Found his picture, but no record. He appears to be a HW from about the White Hope era.

Some of those pictures are neat and some just crack me up! They are hilarious - Barney Fife is my favorite for now.

There was a Heavyweight (a white guy) who sported the nickname "The Doughboy," but I can't remember his real name? He fought within the last 7 years or so.

Anyway, when I saw that picture, the nickname came to mind immediately. He looks like a "Doughboy" with the little kid face. I had been thinking of creating a fictional type of fighter that has a great defense but little else. I think this photo may be the missing link I needed

Dan Blocker would make a fine fictional heavyweight for someone out there.

He's got that, "Are you talkin to me?" look.

Or, if he just heard that he will be fighting Joe Louis or George Foreman in his Title Bout debut... it's the, "You've gotta be kidding me..." face.
