REMEMBER WHEN - Flashbacks

REMEMBER WHEN - BOXING ILLUSTRATED March 1960 Sugar Ray Robinson was on the front cover. An interesting article was: "Superhuman Courage Was The Ruination Of AD WOLGAST"m by Johnny Brannigan Interesting lead by Johnny: "He seemed to thrive on punishment as he plodded into opponents, his head a wide open target. He became lightweight champion and then, suddenly, his whole world caved in like a punctured balloon." - Boxing Illustrated, March 1960.

Amateur & Boxing - link I have linked this to an "Amateur & Profession Boxing" group site, to help "spread it around". Remember when The RING magazine - May 1974 The Canadian boxers in the British Commonwealth rankins included: George Chuvalo, Ronnie Wilson, Gary & Johnny Summerhays, Donato Paduano, Clyde Gray, Marshal Butler, Fernand Marcotte and Art Hafey. Remember when there was an article about Fernand Marcotte in the January 1973 issue of "Boxing Illustrated". It was called "Frantic Fernand" by Harry Feldman. Remember 1967 - BC Diamond Belt Tournament in Vancouver, BC. Both Ron Wilson & Donato Paduano were in the tournament. Considered by some to be the last of the great amateur boxing tournaments in British Columbia. After the formation of CABA in 1969, all things changed concerning tournaments - the various partnerships with fraternal groups and community organizations faded away to be replaced by the Provincial organizations or individual clubs hosting tournaments. Remember when - The RING, November 1965 Welterweight prospect of the month - LOU BIZZARRO. Fighter Of The Month - LUIS RODRIGUEZ Also, BC boxers Harold Mann and Jimmy Walters were mentioned in Jim Johnston's "Pacific Northwest Boxing News".

John H. Stracey vs Hedgemon Lewis souvenir programme - 1976 Looking at the souvenir program re March 1976 welterweight title fight Stracey vs Lewis. Cover price 25p. Open letter from Stracey in the program included the following words: "We have the opportunity this evening to let the whole world know that we in Britain are far from down and out like the knockers would have people to believe." - J H Stracey (1976).

REMEMBER WHEN - Joe Louis & "Bum Of The Month" Big Book Of Boxing - November 1975 The big question by Randy Gordon: "Were Joe Louis' "Bums Of The Month' Really Bums?" Heavy question, ask the opponents of John Henry Lewis, Tony Galento, Jack Roper, Arturo Godoy and others.

Remember When Tough to post articles by other writers due to copyrite issues. A few quotes should lead to an important dicussion. For instance the article about Eddie Machen begins with the ending "Eddie Machen...died on the cold pavement two stories below his San Franciso apartment..." How many remember Machen when he fought Floyd Patteron and Ernie Terrell or Zora Folley. How strange that Folley and Machen would end in tragedy like Sonny Liston.

Can you post some full length articles?
