Frank "the animal" Fletcher

I saw Frank Fletcher fight many times in the late 70's and early 80's and I believe he has been rated wrong in TBCB. As his strategies would indicate, he was not a boxer. Frank would wade in and trade with all the middleweights of his time. He was a very exciting slugger who was never in a dull fight and would take a lot of punches to land his. He was definitely not a boxer.

Agreed, he was definitely a slugger. I changed that for my universe.

I remember his fights on television and he was an all-out slugger. I changed the style and did a simulation of the rating. It has changed slightly, but simulates accurately.

I remember his fight with Clint Jackson being spectacular. Haven't seen it since it aired, but I would love to.

One of my favorite fighters to watch in the early '80s. Seems like he was always in one of those Saturday afternoon USBA title fights. Definitely a slugger, but more one of those volume bangers who didn't have great power.
