Wesley317,

Thanks for showing interest in fictional fighters; I thought that Bear and I were the only ones using them. What I usually do is copy an image of a real boxer who reminds me of one of the fictional boxers in my universe. Than I rename the copy of the picture using the name of the fictional fighter. For example; Kevin McCourt is Mike McTigue, Stephane Francois is George Carpentier, Flash Sullivan is Tommy Loughran and George Boykin as Battling Skki. Three of the four fictional boxers are from the book Poor Nigger by Orin Vergain. Flash Sullivan is from a short story by Robert E. Howard. The authors appeared to have these boxers in mind when creating their characters. In creating my fictional boxers, I tried to give a description from the book to help you visualize the individual. A fictional character that reminds me of Willie Pep might make you think of Sonny Liston.

Hope that helps,

Austin
