Tony Thompson
Donnell Holmes
Miguel Mollo (Listed as Michael on boxrec I believe)

I have rated Mollo. I'll look at the others.

I was going to attempt to rate a few guys based on articles and comparisons, but I was unhappy with the results of the first 2 I tried in testing so gave it up.

I have rated Mollo. I'll look at the others.

MJ

Thanks again.

Is Greenberg from Israel? I may have rated him when I was doing my Africa and Middle East guys. I'll check when I get home tonight. The name sounds familiar, anyway ...

[Claybor]

Is Greenberg from Israel?

Yep, thats him.

[IceTea]

Greenberg and Mbongo were previously rated by ME and SAL. I rated the other two, Mollo was accomplished several months ago.

There seems to be some kind of error when I try to import those files.

You likely have an older iteration of the game than the one that those files were created on. There is no backward compatibility.

The thread with the update downloads is at the top of this page.

Anyone have a photo of Roman Greenberg or Mbongo?

Gib Jones Rating 1 USA
Light Heavyweight 1940-50
41 wins / 54 losses / 9 draws / 23 KO

Hometown: Cincinnati, OH
Birthplace: Charleston, WV

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Jones was game to give anyone a fight about any time. 20 fights in 1940, 26 in 1941, 15 in 1942, 19 in 1943. Things then finally slowed down, maybe by the war? Through June 1944 he fought only 3 times and then did not show any fights until January 1946. Did he go into service in 1944?

18 times stopped in his career to go with the 23 KO's he recorded. Apparently a free swinging brawler type. He fought a lot fights with guys we've not heard of, but a few we've seen entered into the game. He lost two and drew once with Charley Banks, Lost to Tommy Yarosz, Lloyd Gibson, Phil Muscato, Nate Bolden, Jimmy Edgar, Bob Garner, Bill McDowell three times, Teddy Randolph, Jimmy (Gunboat) Davis, and Ossie Harris. The only wins I seen against rated fighters were against Teddy Randolph and Bill Jackson three times along with a draw against Indian Benny Deathpaine.

In June 1946 he knocked out Bill Jackson to beat him for the third time and that put Jones' record at 41-42-9,23KO. He never won another fight. Jones lost eight in row through the remainder of 1946, 5 by KO. He then did not fight from November 1946 until finally stepping into the ring again in May 1948. He fought and lost the one fight in 1948, lost again in one fight in November 1949, and then lost two fights in early 1950 to end his career. Dating back to the eight lossed in 1946, he lost his last 12 career fights, 9 by KO including being stopped in the last 7.

Roberto Bosio Rating 1 Belgium
Heavyweight 1977-80
6 wins / 7 losses / 1 draw / 2 KO

Hometown: Bergamo, Italy

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Fought his career in Belgium expect for one fight in Crevalcore, Italy in May 1978 in which he was stopped in the 4th round by Claudio Cassanelli. In April 1980 he knocked out Horst Lang in the 4th round. Bosio was stopped in 5 of his 7 losses.
