Trivia Question

[jabsRstiff]

Jabs, you might know this...Was that the cover where they had a photo of Breland dreaming away with thoughts of being the next Ray Leonard (who was also on the cover up in a clouded corner)?

Or did that one come out after Breland had already turned pro?

You got me there.....I know I have it in my attic, somewhere.
Something to do this weekend.

Yogi how long have you been following boxing?

Oh, going on thirty years now...More of a casual viewer for the first couple years (my father was a big fan), but it was around 1978/79 when I became sort of a die hard fan, and started buying the magazines at every opportunity...KO Magazine came out at around that time or just a little bit after.

Alright....

Time to get really boxing nerdy on this one....

It's a trivia question about Boxing magazines (80's)...

What was the name of the guy ( a fan) who used to write letters in, just about every month, to KO/World Boxing/Big Book of Boxing, etc.....praising Larry Holmes as the all-time king ?
Does this sound familiar ?

LOL.

That sounds like something that Hawkins from ********** would do and I think he's even said that he used to write a few letters to the boxing mags praising Holmes...I don't think it would be him, but that's the first guy that came into my mind.

I remember his name, because as a 12-14 year old who loved Larry Holmes, I thought the guy was a damn genius !

I'll see if Ice can ansewr it, before I say it. Talk about "trivial".

Robbie was excellent. His fights with Iran Barkley & Murray Sutherland were classics.
