Dave Centi Rating 1 USA
HW 1964-68
11 wins / 15 losses / 0 draws / 3 KO

Hometown: Tacoma, WA
Birthplace: Eugene, OR

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Centi won his first 7 fights up thru mid 1965. They incluced 4, 6 round decisions over Richie Peters(4-22-1,3KO) and the last of the 7 was a 5 round decision over Emil Umek who was from Frankfort, Germany but he came to America to fight almost his entire career(fought once in Canada and once in Mexico). It was Umek's first career bout. That fight was on June 11, 1965. Two weeks later, Centi fought another new heavyweight on the west coast, Jerry Quarry who was 3-0-0. Quarry dropped Centi n the 2nd round on the way to a 6 round UD. Centi won 3 of his next 4 bouts but then finished 1965 with two losses to Don Koontz and a loss to Matt Blow.

1966 didn't start any better as he dropped 2 fights to Ski Golstein both 10 round decisions and then lost a 10 rounder to Jimmy Rossette. After winning a 10 round MD over a John L Davey(6-8-4,2) he lost two more fights in 1966, 3rd round KO by Manuel Ramos(the first of only 2 fights outside the US, this being in Mexico) and 6 round decision loss to Chuck Wepner. In 1967 he lost straight fights to Dave Zyglewicz, Tony Doyle, Wayne Kindred and Ski Goldstein. In April 1968 Centi traveled outside the US for only the 2nd time for a fight as he went to Sao Paulo, Brazil to take on Luis Faustino Pires. Pires KO'd him in the 6th round and then ended Centi's career.


Tom Pawloski Rating 1 USA
HW 1964-67
3 wins / 2 losses / 0 draws / 3 KO

Hometown: Oakland, CA
Birthplace: Poland

Rating by: Rocco Del SEsto

After a knockout win in his first fight in August 1964, Pawloski fought Henry Clark who was 4-2-1 in the early part of his career. Clark beat Pawloski in a 10 round decision. Pawloski is then absent for close to 2 years with his next recorded fight in November 1966, a 1st round KO of Al Carter(3-13-1,0). Next up in December that year is a 2nd round knock out of a Pedro Rojas for Rojas' only appearance in boxrec. Two months later in mid February 1967 we see Pawloski for the last time as he's stopped in the first round by Matt Blow after referee Joey Olmos stops the fight at 2:29 after Pawloski is knocked down for the 2nd time.


John Massey Rating 1 USA
HW 1959-67
13 wins / 2 losses / 2 draws / 9 KO

Hometown: Portland, OR

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

From August 1959 thru May 1961 Massey put together a 9-1-2,8KO record against the local Oregon/Washington heavyweights. With that record, Massey traveled to the Madison Square Garden in October 1961 to take on another up and coming heavyweight, Billy Daniels was 12-0-0 at the time. Massey showed himself to be outclassed as he dropped a 6 round UD to Daniels. After that Massey dropped out of the boxing scene for 3-1/2 years before making an abbreviated comeback that didn't amount to much despite 4 wins. Three of them came against Richie Peters(4-22-1,3) and the other one against a Harold Jones who's career mark amounts to the 2nd round TKO loss to Massey. Massey finished his career for good with a 6 round decision over Peters in February 1967.

Matt Blow Rating 5 USA
HW 1965-68
6 wins / 4 losses / 1 draw / 3 KO

Hometown: New York, NY

Rating by; Rocco Del Sesto

Blow's career started with 4 straight wins, a 6 round UD over Dave Centi(11-15-0,3), a 6 round decision over Ski Goldstein(13-6-0,10) and then early round knockouts of Sonny Ray and Jimmy Rossette. In December 1966 he lost a 10 round split decision to Hank Casey. Casey was a middleweight from the mid 50's up through 1964 accummulating a 30-8-6 record. He'd not fought since November 1964 when he staged a comeback as a heavyweight here in late 1966 against Matt Blow.

Blow's career tailed off after the defeat to Casey winning only twice in 1967 against Tom Pawloski and a Charlie James while loosing to Wayne Kindred. In 1968 he lost 2, 10 round decisions to Florida Al Jones then finished his career in July 1968 with a 10 round draw with Chuck Leslie.


Richie Peters Rating 1 USA
HW 1961-67
4 wins / 22 losses / 1 draw / 0 KO

Hometown: Portland, OR

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Peters won 3 lost 2 and drew 1 before he labored through 19 consecutive defeats from May 1962 thru February 1967. Most noteable losses were to Vic Brown, four times to Dave Centi, three times to John Massey((13-2-2,9), and to Billy Stephan(19-12-1,14). Finally in September 1967 he managed to break through with another win. It was against an Al Fiddler who has no other known professional fight from Vacncouver, Canada. Peters stops Fiddler in the 4th round. Peters moment of victory is dashed quickly as he's knocked out in the 1st round a month later by Johnny Caruso to end Peters' career.


Ski Goldstein Rating 1 USA
HW 1963-68
13 wins / 6 losses / 0 draws / 10 KO

Hometown: San Diego, CA
Birthplace: Milwaukee, WI

Rating by: Rocco Del sesto

Goldstein started out with 8 consecutive knockout victories in 5 rounds or less. Most noteable wins being over Dave Furch(10-19-4,4) and Al Gonzalez(18-5-1,9). Then in November 1964 at Madison Square Garden, he was knocked down once in the 3rd and twice in the 7th on the way to a 7th round knockout by Billy Stephan(19-12-1,14). Golstein came back with a 10 round decision victory over Manuel Ramos then lost consecutive 6 round decisions to Lou Hicks and Matt Blow then in February 1966 he travelled to London, England for a first time fight outside the US where he was stopped in the 3rd round by Jack Bodell.

Goldstein then headed back to the West coast and won fights against Don Koontz, and three straight against Dave centi. In Novemeber 1967 we see Goldstein back in Europe, this time in Rome, Italy. It's not a good visit across the pond again for Goldstein as he's knocked out in the 2nd round by Eduardo Corletti. A couple months later in January 1968 Goldstein comes back to Califorinia, in San Diego and fights for the last time when he's stopped in the 6th round by Sam Wyatt.

Love the avatar Ice. That is the typical dad of the 1950's and early 60's that you see on all of the documentaries of the time. LOL. I can hear that voice now.."and here is dad,hard at work building his bomb shelter"..lol. Remember watching those old documentaries in school? They looked so cheesy to us kids of the 70's..can only imagine what todays youngsters think when watching those things.

Next couple of posts a real Mish Mash of cans...

Hal Moffett Rating 1 USA
HW1967
1 win / 3 losses / 0 draws / 1 KO

Hometown: New York, NY

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Stopped Bob DiPierro in the 1st round on Jan 30th, 1967. He followed that with, three, 4 round decision losses in 1967 to Jack O'Halloran in April, and twice to Frank Calabro in May and June. Even though he was from New York, Moffett fought all his fights in Walpole and Boston, MA.


Joe Brewster Rating 1 USA
HW 1967-68
7 wins / 5 losses / 1 draw / 3 KO

Alias: Boom Boom
Hometown: Pittsfield, MA

Rating by: Rocco Del SEsto

Fought 11 of his 13 career bouts in 1967 alone. Started out with wins over Harold Roos and Bobby Smith a couple of guys fighting for the first and only time,then lost twice to Danny Swears and to Roberto Petrauskas. Came back to then win 4 straight over Bobby Blowers, Joe Jones, Tim Flaherty and Swears. Finished 1967 with knockout losses to Willie Moore and Bert Perry(making his pro debut). Came back in early 1968 to win over Honey Hall and draw with Ernie Rossi, a couple guys who'd never fought professionally before nor would again.


Danny Swears Rating 1 USA
1967-69 HW
3 wins / 14 losses / 1 draw / 1 KO

Hometown: Worcester, MA

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Swears started his career with slew of fights in 1967. He fought 5 times in May 1967. He beat Joe Brewster twice but lost to Jack O'Halloran, Charley Polite and Mike Bruce. In June he lost to Frank Calabro and Kevin Doug Hogan. In July he lost again to Hogan and to Moses Harrell. In September he lost a decision to Joe Brewster before he broke the loosing streak with a 4th round knockout of Tim Flaherty. A couple days after defeating Flaherty, Swears took on Tommy Hicks who was making his pro debut. Hicks won the 4 round decision.

That was finally it for 1967 and Swears didn't fight again til May 1968 when he was KO'd in the 2nd by Barry O'Neil. Three months later he lost a 4 rounder to Walter Miller and then in November that year O'Neil knocked Swears out again in the 2nd round. Swears came back to fight 3 times in January, February and March 1969, a draw with Young Joe Louis, and defeats to Jesse Crown and Tony Gagliardo. As you can see very few household heavyweight names in Swears fight log.


Frank Calabro rating 1 uSA
HW 1966-67

Calabro was knocked out in the 1st round by Barry O'Neil in his first fight in June 1966. He didn't fight again till almost a year later in May 1967 he beat Hal Moffett in a 4 round decision. Those two squared off again a month later and again, Calabro took the 4 round decision. Three weeks later Calabro won another 4 rounder, this time against Danny Swears. That was it then for Calabro's career as boxrec shows.

Clarence Boone Rating 1 USA
HW 1958,63-72
4 wins / 19 losses / 0 draws / 3 KO

Alias: C.B.
Hometown: Fort Worth, TX
Birthplace: Houston, TX

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

Clarence bounced around between fighting middle, Lightheavy and Heavyweights. The 1968 Ring Record Book lists him as a Lightheavy, which he appeared to be fighting mainly as in 1967, but again he bounced up and down in weight it appeared quite often in his career so he's rated here as a heavyweight as listed in boxrecord and his fighting weight is listed as majority of the time.

He started out with 4 straight losses. Lost a 6 round decision to middleweight AJ Mccoy(15-14-2,9) in Dec 1958. He then does not show a fight again in boxrec till Feb 1963 when he's knocked out in the 1st round by Sonny Moore. After another decision loss to another middleweight, Billy Glover in April 1963, Boone looses his 4th fight, a 4 round decision to HW Jimmy(Irish) Manahan(9-4-0,4). Finally in October 1963 he gets his first win, a 2nd round KO of Eddie Jones(3-2-1,1). From then on in 1964 thru 1966 he fights only 7 times, winning the first against Manahan and then loosing 6, 4 by KO. Losses included to Wayne Heath(14-10-0,6), Jefferson Davis and Dave Zyglewicz in Zyggies' 3rd career bout in Oct 1965.

Then comes 1967 and Boone suddenly gets busy though no more successful, as he looses 5 more fights. After 3rd round KO losses to Mark Tessman and Bobby Dennard(15-3-0,13), he looses 3 straight 10 round decisions to Tessman and then twice to Karl Zurheide. Tessman and Zurheide where two of the bright new Lightheavies in the 1960s. Dennard was only real heavyweight. In January 1968 it was loss number 12 in a row, a 2nd round TKO to Tony (Kid) Longoria.

Boone then hangs things up for over 3 years until he comes back to the ring in April 1971. He wins twice in 1971 knocking out Terry Krueger and Jimmy Boyde(9-7-2,8) before loosing in Sept 1971 to Elmo (Tex) Henderson(22-20-1,12). Henderson was in the later stages of his career having fought most of his earlier success as a lightheavyweight. Two fights in 1972 finish Boone's career, both 2nd round KO losses. The first to Terry Krueger and then the 2nd, Boone in his final fight for good, becomes George Foreman's 34th victim.

Tommy "Tex" Collins Rating 1 USA
HW 1965-67,76-77
2 wins / 6 losses / 0 draws / 2 KO

Alias: Tex
Hometown: Houston, TX

Rating by: Rocco Del Sesto

In August 1965 he knocked out Clarence Boone in the 5th round. We then see Collins next in Feb 1966 when he's KO'd in 2 by Sonny Moore. It's a little more then a year later in March 1967 when Collins next is knocked out in the first round in Akron, Ohio by a welterweight, Tom Prock(6-3-0,5)! About 3 weeks later he gets KO'd again in the 1st round in Miami Beach, this time by Tony Ventura.

Collins is absent then in the boxrecords til August 1976 when back in Houston, Texas he wins by 2nd round TKO over Vernon Johnston(8-14-1,5). He follows that with 2 losses in late 1976 against Lynn Ball and Walter Santemore before ending his career again with a 4th round KO loss to a Peter Francis(1-4-0,1) in Feb 1977.
