Jack Bodell
I was working on Billy Gray, a British Heavy from the mid/late 60's, when I got to looking at the "official" data base of the British heavys from the 60's and I'm mystified by the "1" overall rating Jack Bodell has compared to the 3 for Brian London, 4 for Billy Walker and 7 for Henry Cooper. Comparing him to some others also in there, I just don't see how he can be a 1. So before I start my playtesting of Gray, I'm going to look at Bodell's rating some for the data base.

Rocco,Jack is a hard one to rate he goes from one of his best fights vs a young Joe Bugner to one of his worst vs Jerry Quarry in a very strange fight only about 2 mo. later then drops his next 2 fights by stopages and then hangs them up. I rerated him a bout 6 or 7 mo ago. I changed a few things from his date base ratings cf 8/8 i dropped his kd's & rec.by 1 4/3 int up 2 to 6 FI 3 FO 1 and his PL & CP 36\36 i thank that kick him up to a 3 i hope this helps you. Bill

Jack had a very impressive looking record.
for thoses who haven't seen it, here is the Quarry fight, although going by his record he is better than this YouTube - Jack Bodell - Joe Bugner - Round 1 |

I'll use your suggestions here as a start. I'm going to go through those Boxing News I have to see if they shed any information that might be usefull. There's a lot in them dealing with Bodell. Rocco |

Jim McIlvaney - HW Scotland 1965-68
I'm going through my Boxing News papers looking up McIlvaney's fights and i notice some accounts mention him as being from Birmingham and some mention Leicester. I looked on a map and see the two are somewhat close to each other. Would a fighter sometimes actually live in one place and maybe he was training/work out of another location? I see this quite a bit as I've been looking up fight accounts of various boxers in these Boxing News papers where they'll switch back and forth between two and sometimes three locations for the fighter.
I'll mention to Jim reach the Boxing News British heavyweight rankings, tied for 15th with Jim Monagham, in the Oct 7, 1966 News after the two Jims had fought their 6 round draw in September 1966. By the New's next British rankings at the end of that year, McIlvaney was not listed. His career pretty much spun out of control after that draw with Monagham. I'm going to finish going through his fights and then work on an update of his TB rating that I did for him and will repost it here. |

Thank you for writing. It's really great to "meet" family sometimes of some of these boxers that we "gamers" and boxing fans try to bring to life in TB. Your more than welcome to use any/all of this poster here about your Grandfather. Rocco |

Lawrence Tauasa is rated in the game as a CW. I don't know if his rating at HW would be much different. Anyway, here's the file I have in my database.
