born 1964 according to Flash Gordon's 80's Record Book
Gordon alleged he was tanking fights and had a picture of a wino on a park bench for this guy. For those of you who remember Flash Gordon was a tad opinionated.

Whatever happened to Flash? He did some great work exposing the Don King/Ring magazine/ABC fiasco involving the televised 'U.S. Championship' tournament.

No one seems to know what ever happened to Flash or even if he's still alive. I used to get his newsletter. He was indeed opinionated. I kind of miss him.

None of the boxing people I know have a clue about him either. We were wondering about him at the HOF inductions. He jut seems to have vanished. For many of us his newsletter was treated as sacred text.

Awesome Bear, I was out of town and have it on my DVR. This will make watching it all that more entertaining. Thanks!!!

[swampdragon]

I finally got all of these. I'm approaching 22,000 fighters in my database, thanks to all the hard work the folks on this forum have done. I think the enthusiasm here for the game is waning, but it has been a great ride and this is still easily the best game of its type on the market. Thanks to all of you.

[IceTea]

There is a Ron Suber on Facebook. Was he African-American?

[bear]

Thought there would be a rating for Gary Russell Jr.'s BAD opponent last night. Didn't find one so I cobbled one together.
