23-34-1 (9)
Carl 'Tank' Baker was a small sized heavyweight from Nassau in The Bahamas. After building a respectable record against island competition including Stamford Harris whom he beat 5 times in 6 years. On a short tour of Europe in 1969 where he lost via stoppages to Ulric Regis (KO in 10), Peter Weiland (TKO in the 2nd) and Jose Manuel Urtain (KO in 23 seconds in the first round). On his return to the Carribean he won three straight fights before he fought Rahman Ali in 1971 which he lost on points over 10 rounds. Returning to Italy in late 1971 and he lost to Piermario Baruzzi (loss via TKO in the eighth) and Domenico Adinolfi (loss via TKO in the fourth). His next notable opponent is Jeff Merritt in mid '72 which ends with a KO by Merritt in the second. Two fights later he runs into Raul Gorosito and loses a eighth round decision. At the end of 1974 he faces 'Candy' Randy Neumann who TKO's him in the tenth. Six months later he ran into a retiring Jimmy Ellis looking to go out with a win. It was never in doubt as Ellis knocks him out in the first. Baker would struggle his way through the rest of career before retiring in 1982.
