Where can you find information about a boxer from the 1940s named Eric Boone?

Answer 1

JW: I have a reply for you - took a little bit of -researching- a.) I have an Eric Boone with three (3) -pro- bouts experience (two kno.s/ the loss by a decision/ "interesting accomplishments" though the minimum -pro- experience). This boxer fought -twice- in 1982- -then, once in 1986- He was active in Africa. He is the only "Eric Boone" I see.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You -probably- mean Eric Boon(b) -and- I'll tell you about him, -here- He also fought under the aliases of, ""Fen Tiger", & "Boy Boon". I see a -very handsome- picture of this boxer in the BoxRec.com -bio- archives. Born at Chatteris, England, he passed away at age 61 on Jan. 19, 1981. Eric began his career -as-a-pro- 3-0. Then he suffered a defeat. Then: I "stopped counting" after seening him -string- 28 wins straight. He was a lightweight and for those of you out there who do-not know boxing scales, lightweight is -middle- of Welter (up) and Feather (lower) "traditional" weight structure -and- -between- Jr. Welter (up) and Jr Light (down) -"modern"- era weight -structures- (in place 40 to 60 years or longer, now)/ 135 lbs. In "history" of the sport, one can find Roberto Duran a dominant -figure- from the "Lightweight" div. Lets talk "numbers" in the record: first/ 92-21-5 is the -record- given, 62 Ko's -quite a high -ko-percentage- (wins-losses-drawn. such is how -boxing records- are --always-- -display-). The boxer was 5'5 1/2" tall. BoxRec.com -for what its worth- "Identifys" Eric Boon as: "Human 24131".

Now, I must add something else about this boxer: A "Bio" is "Open" on this -boxer- and in the Bio his -record- is "constrewed". I have -never- seen anything quite like this in past. In the "bio" they say he is: 93-23-5 w/ one No Contest. In his -record- they -list- the pro debute from May 9, 1937. In the Bio they take it from 1935. But, their are other "confusing" things about the actual -record- in the -Bio- section. I haven't in least put study to the calibration of opponents. With so vast a -record- I imagine he faced -some- of the -best-. With request, i'l sequest the record and give it a good -examine- For whom ever it was who asked this question...if -yah- can get "deep" w/ Wiki/ here, I am certain they will give you -keys- so as to -add- to that -Bio- You could be an important -link- with history with this -apparently- "significant figure"/in boxing/ from that time period. Good luck.
