For Austin ...
... here's 1940s-50s middleweight Joe "Bolo" Blackwood. An interesting guy, he fought 96 times in 14 years against some of the best of his era, beating George Benton, Artie Towne, Lino Armenteros, Izzy Jannazzo, Coley Welch and others. He came back seven years later and lost a light-heavyweight bout to Jimmy Ellis and re-retired. He died seven years later at age 44. Sorry, no pic.
