Tinman Hooper (MW) 1789 - 1803
W19(5) / L11(3) / D3 - World Middleweight Champion & Two-time English Middleweight Champion
Hooper was the workhorse of the middleweight division for more than a decade defeating (and bowing to) nearly everyone of consequence. More than half of his professional bouts were for the English or World titles. This is Hooper's fifth and final time on the ballot.
Complete record
Jack Bartholomew (HW) 1795 - 1807
W16(4) / L13(3) / D1 - English Heavyweight Champion 1797 to 1801

Complete record
James Harmer (HW) 1795 - 1807
W9(3) / L18(9) / D0
Harmer served as an able trialhorse and opponent durring his thirteen years in the ring.
Complete record
Sincerely,
Lord Cornelius Acton
President, Royal Explorers Club of Glasgow.
