Who is this boxer????

Question

I've been trying to think of his last name all day. The boxers name is Kedrick thats all I know. He was a boxer in the eighties and he was really good, but he lost a big fight and never became champ. I believe his division was lightweight. Could anyone tell me his last name? I can't find anything on him.

Answer 1

I cant think of anyone who was named Kendrick that was big in the 80's. The closets i can find that sounds similar was Meldrick Taylor, maybe you were thinking of him??? but was a pretty big deal in the 80's but was overshadowed by the other bigger name fighters, although he did win the IBF light welterweight and the WBA welterweight belts. He did have a huge fight with Julio Cesar Chavez for the WBC light welterweight belt but he lost that fight, other than that i really cant think of anyone named Kendrick, i'm not saying there isnt a guy by that name, just none i can think of right now. Thanks for asking a serious boxing question.

Answer 2

The only boxer i can think of with a name like that is Medlrick Taylor who was a welterweight, he fought through the 80's but he won a title at some point.  He lost to Terry Norris and Chavez.

As for Kedrick im drawing a blank

Answer 3

Was it any of these guys:

Cedric Barkley

Cedric Carlson

Cedric Costello

Cedric Dotson

Answer 4

i checked on www.boxrec.com and nothing came up for first or last name.  most likely it's another spelling but if you do find out how to spell it you can go to boxrec and they should have him.
