Also, how about Roberto Duran as a Middleweight and Super Middleweight.

I can't believe that no one has rated this Rome, N.Y., middleweight. So If somebody already has, please forgive the duplication of efforts.

Born 1921, Carter fought from 1942 till 1947 and compiled a career record of 41-11-4 (6).

He beat Wild Bill McDowell, Reuben Shank, Cocoa Kid (twice), Johnny Carter (three times), Coley Welch, Joe Reddick, and Aaron (Tiger) Wade, among others. Lost to Holman Williams (three times), Lloyd Marshall, Charley Burley, and Cocoa Kid (twice). Suffered only one knockout in his career--to Johnny Bassett in his last fight.

PEDRO AMADOR LW (1926-1929)

Hometown - Colon, Panama

23(4)-15-5

Amador spent most of his pro career on the U.S. West Coast. His only bout in his homeland of Panama was in 1927 when he decisioned Jose Lombardo in Panama City for the Panamanian Junior Lightweight Title. Back in California, Pedro beat Mexican Joe Guerrero in six, drew with Doc Snell over six rounds and with Billy Townsend over ten. Some of the bigger names that got the better of Amador were King Tut, Kid Berg and Tommy Cello. In February of 1929, Amador dropped a decision to Joe Marcus and a TKO loss to Billy Townsend within the same week that were both trumpeted by the Portland, OR papers as great fights. Over 43 career bouts, Pedro was stopped only by Townsend, Joe Azzarella and early in his career by Bud Oswald when he broke a finger and tore ligaments on his right hand.

Thanks again! Is there anything you can do with the Patsy Fukuda photo in post 646? I like the picture, but it could be sharper.

[LeeSkye]

I can sharpen the edges a little and brighten it to bring out a little more detail but not much.
