Wow, look at this, I stay away for a few days and you've put a weeks worth of reading in front of me! What an incredible amount of research you have done....And I applaud you. Thanks so much for sharing.

Don:

Are you going up through Slack into the mid 1780s where Fistiana picks up?

I am still assembling what I have from 1785 to 1840. 1841 to Sullivan will have to wait a while.

Thanks again!

At the moment my fighter creation is up to Slack and most of his opponents, but I have notes and names of others to work on leading up to Fistiana's records.
