Héctor Eduardo Corletti (born 14 August 1941) is a retired Argentinian heavyweight boxer. As an amateur he won a silver medal at the 1959 Pan American Games and finished ninth at the 1960 Summer Olympics.[1] Next year he turned professional and in 1969 won the South American heavyweight title. He retired in 1973 after a series of eight losses.[2]
Boxing career
Eduardo fought such fighters as 'White Hope' Jerry Quarry, Joe Bugner, George Chuvalo, and Al 'Blue' Lewis.[3] All of these fighters were of a high caliber except Blue Lewis. Eduardo lost to all of these fighters except Chuvalo.
The first of these was a bout against George Chuvalo in 1966. Eduardo won by decision in an upset. This and a victory over Billy Walker gave him a world ranking. Two years later, in 1968, he fought in a losing effort against Blue Lewis. He was billed as English until this loss.[4] In 1970 Eduardo lost to Bugner, and in 1972 was bested by Jerry Quarry. All of these fights went the distance except the Quarry fight, in which Quarry scored a first-round knockout. He also lost in a rematch against Lewis by a knockout in 2 rounds.
