I'll start (I'm a Jim Croce fan by the way

)

This photo is one of my favorites that I have found trolling the web because of what may be behind it.

The photo depicts Chandar Sen fighting Amar Singh in Fiji on 06/15/73.

Sen was a Fijian Featherweight who beat up a bunch of locals and was KO'd by Australia's Paul Ferreri.

Singh fought one pro bout - this one.

What struck me is the question of where Mr. Singh may have came from. Was he an amateur from a local gym or was he literally pulled from the street or crowd to fill a no-show?

I suspect the later - the shorts don't fit well and may not have been his. He is barefoot, one would think that a guy from a local gym would have at least have had a pair of shoes.

Anyway, My vote is for 'off the street', a true record padding opponent. What are your thoughts and what photos do you have that are favorites of yours?
