I called Jeff Chandler a miniature size Thomas Hearns. He came from a long line of Great Philly Fighters.

I remember Jeff being at the top of the Bantamweight division forever. He seemed unbeatable at Bantamweight. It seemed like he was #1 for the entire decade of the 80's.

Jeff was a GREAT champ in the bantamweight division in the early to mid 80s Very underrated fighter

Once again Rich, you raise the bar when it comes to on-line boxing documentaries.

This great fighter needs to be talked about more!

One of the best pound-for-pound fighters of his era. Thanks for the much deserved tribute! Man, I miss Wide World of Sports!

Thanks for the salute 🫡 to my first boxing hero. Joltin' Jeff!

I've never heard of this guy. Thank you for the history lesson.

Tough fighter, remember him fondly.

Love that at lower weights,there in tremendous shape, and throw a lot of leather

Sounds like joltin Jeff is still alive,which is great,most these docs end badly, so many fighters from,70,80s,gone to early

Outstanding presentation. I always looked forward to watching Chandler in the early 1980s. A beautiful boxer with every move in the book, and could punch as well. Too bad there wasn't overlap with Zarate, who was astonishingly gifted, and near the very top of fighters I saw live. He looked very different in person compared to TV. Zarate vs Chandler would've been special. Chandler's career reminded me of a saying from a friend from Puerto Rico, who said that boxers from Mexico and Philly are pretty much the same. For every Salvador Sanchez and Ricardo Lopez, you also have a Julio Cesar Chavez and Ruben Olivares. At the same time, for every Joe Frazier and Bennie Briscoe, there's a Jeff Chandler and Tyrone Everett. Boxers, punchers, all great, and a deep and diversified history that's almost unmatched.

Joltin Jeff Chandler was a special fighter in South Philly and around the world. Only two amateur fights and within several years Bantamweight Champion of the World! Another great one Rich and thanks!

Awesome work Rich! It's great to see a documentary on Jeff Chandler!

It's about time someone recognized joltin jeff and ko becky

Rich, thanks. I remember asking you to make a doc on Jeff, and you delivered. Keep'em coming champ.

Cheers brother! Very underrated is Jeff.

Jeff was a favorite on network TV on Saturdays ABC or CBS free fights

Great Philly fighter…tough, skilled, determined. Watched him many, many times back in those days.

Jeff Chandler was a great fighter. I remember all the major boxing mags hyping up a potential unification between Chandler & Pintor. That would have been a hell of a fight.

The best boxing doc channel on youtube!!...

KO Becky was the real deal. What a woman! Cool photo of the great Jeff Chandler at the hall of fame induction. Who are the others in the photo?

Thank you Rich. The one fighter I was so close to asking whether you were ever going to put a documentary together about, and one of my first boxing hero's. So underrated in US boxing history. Chandler vs Pintor was one the great fights that never happened!

This video was great ( another gem) still got some of Chandler's fights on bata-max cassettes with old 1980s commercials that my old man recorded . As a kid remember him as a very solid champion who meant business . Might be real difficult but maybe a short documentary on his manager Becky O'Neil , seems like a very interesting / funny character 🥊

He knockout a guy for me when i had surgery when i had a tunor back of my eye I was in children hospital i. Phila only 9 years old this grown man pluck me in the head for being jealous and scratching his baby daughter because she start to get all the attention over me jeff didn't know the whole story he only saw the father of the child pluck me and Jeff offer him out they went out side fought jeff kbock dude out but when jeff found out the whole truth he told me if i touch that baby or any other baby he will pluck me harder right in the step dad face and said he knockout my stepdad ,my step dad didn't say nothing at all but jeff after that show me love,i never forget him im 50 now and i apologize to that little girl she said be about 40 now i hope life been good to her and i forgive her dad to peace to him to and jeff i never forget you champ peace,love you always be my champ!!!

Now those Carter and Muniz fights were outstanding and one can only wonder how different boxing would be if there were more managers and coaches like Chandler's, too many leeches out there trying to fleece the fighters.

I remember Joltin' Jeff. He was a very good boxer/puncher. Also, it was cool to have an American champion in a division mostly dominated by Latinos and Asians. He was thin but had a hell of a rock solid and muscular physique. I wouldn't have messed with him! Thanks Rich for another great video.

Great documentary Rich, and pleased Chandler never went downhill and got swallowed up with the street life. Jolting Jeff was a fantastic boxer, the smaller divisions are just so more competitive. Such a shame a unification fight with Pintor never happened, it may of been a classic trilogy of fights. Wonderful story regarding his relationship with his trainer and manager husband & wife team, what a wonderful character she must of been, and Willie O’Neils boxing intelligence and wisdom would of been a boxing historians dream to listen to about the old boxers of the past. Wonderful Rich, many thanks.🥊

Excellent documentary! Rich is the best

It's a shame, he never fought Pinter,who was a very good fighter, I think he had broke his jaw in the motorcycle accident, Pinter was also never the same after he killed a fighter named Jimmy Owen in a tremendous fight,I remember watching it on a Saturday afternoon, Owen was the thinnest fighter I ever seen,he was running like 25 miles a day,it was a war,Pinter staggered him,hit him with a straight right, his head hit the canvas, he was basically DOA,it's been over forty yrs,that's what I remember, Chandler was good,but moving up,he wouldn't beat Gomez, or Sanchez, that division, the top ten was loaded, all great fighters, but the best I ever sore and my favorite of all time was Salvador sanchez, Hagler close second,loved both. RIP CHAMPS,BOTH GOATS

Love me some Joltin' Jeff. Super respectful, thougthful and a real gentleman and an obvious warrior of supreme quality (that goes without saying).

Really terrific segment. You beautifully depict the relationship between the boxer, the manager and the advisor.

Hey Rich thanx for the trip down memory lane! These names bring back so many memories Chandler, Dancing Machine Carter, Becky Oneil,Julian Solis, Murata the list goes on and on.

With virtually no amateur back ground Jeff had God given talent , an excellent fighter and a fascinating story , well done Rich.

I’ve said it more times than I can remember at this point but no one can come close to providing the wonderful documentaries of both the great, well-known fighters; but also of some of the most niche, barely acknowledged fighters who still deserve to be given recognition for giving so much to a sport that is both beautiful and amazing, but which has exacted such a price from these warriors. Thanks again, Rich!!

Jeff Chandler Of The Best Boxers From Philly. Peace out.

Best boxing ch on YT. No bs thumbnails, great narration, interesting stories & always great action. Thanks Rich 👌🙏👍🥊😊

Looking forward to this! Thanks Rich!

Some very exciting fights Rich ! Pity he never fought Pintor, we'll never know ?

Outstanding! I was a big fan of Joltin' Jeff, and the one time I got a group of my friends to watch one of his fights was the Sandoval fight. I forgot about the Muniz fights, and would have loved to have seen him in a fight with Pintor. It should have happened after the Canizales fight. Great job Rich, you are doing a service to these guys, boxing is a thankless sport and people tend to forget them when they are no longer champion, or actively fighting. 🥊

I am a subscriber and never miss a presentation, you are always informative & respectful to our boxing warriors! Thank You & keep up the great work 👊😏👍

What some brutal fights happened in those years. Missed them…

Ahh man I remember him and lot's of very good boxing thanks this is good to watch

Fantastic fighter jeff chandler👍👍

Amazing - thank you for the coverage

Been waiting for this one!

Thank you for creating such an incredible documentary of my bubba (KO) becky, my grandpa and Jeffs story! We have some of her original photos etc., but really incredible to see video footage! Great job - very true to who they were. Thank you!

Always love these, may I ask if you dont mind but where to you find the music for your documentaries?

Jeff Chandler, one of my childhood favorites! The fight with Pintor is one of many great title unifications that never materialized in the 80s…right up there with Spinks-Saad Muhammad; Mustafa Muhammad-Saad Muhammad; and Nelson-McGuigan. What a pity. That would have been a true SUPERFIGHT!

You've done it again, Rich. Outstanding piece of work. This is a rare jewel among all the documentaries you've made. Very special. Thanks for sharing your insight with us. ✝🥊🙏

I remember him ❤ great post as ever, thanks 🙏

Great story 🥊

#PHILLY Ya Gotta love Philadelphia fight history.

It's a beautiful and rare thing to see the bond that Chandler had with those two people . The Carter fight was a masterclass in inside fighting .You could see when he moved up he didn't have the same strength to fight off the ropes cos his opponents were stronger and he couldn't push them off just that little bit to give him the space to work . Great video ....and a nice ending which is rare from that era of fighting

Another Philadelphia fighter.............Matthew Saad Muhammad, George Benton, Benard Hopkins. Among many great fighters from Philadelphia.

Beautiful and accurate documentary on my father. Well put together and highly informational. I've sat and watched about 3 of your boxing docs afterwards. You are truly a champ Rich. Thank you for your work and god bless. 🥊

I remember when. Oscar the Boxer Muniz beat him. Was a good Day for Los Angeles.

Thanks for the amazing video Rich ❤

Great Champion and Warrior in those lower weights too!!! They fought each other too!!! Definite Hall a famer 💯 another great one done by RICH who is awesome on all these docs he does on Fighters.

superb footage Rich thank's

You should do ones on Tim Witherspoon, Pinklon Thomas, Gerrie Coetzee, Frank Bruno, Johnny Summerlin,Michael Bent, Tommy Morrison and Trevor Berbick

Another outstanding boxing documentary

Fabulous work Rich!

At the time I thought Jeff was good but overrated as were most East coast fighters. But he proved to be an all time great. I usually cheered against him but I always respected him. Thank you and especially thanks to Mr.Jeff Chandler.

excellent, again

This is one of the few times I know a fighter before you make a video on him. HaNZAod brought him to my attention

I remember he only weighed 113lbs which was only 1 pound above flyweight limit for his early title defenses. He could've easily fought as a flyweight then. The lighter weight classes weren't popular in US at all back then. It was nothing like today. He would have been a real good bantamweight champion in any era. He was real good.

Thank you man

Great video coverage Rich 💯 you scared me a little i didn't want to hear the streets of South Philly eat him up. What a wonderful ending; i hate his career was cut do to cataracts. He was a true warrior, champion; HOF 🥊🥊💪🏆

Saw him fight a lot in the 80s. Remember the Muniz fights well.

Thank you so much!

Rich still pulls out the best boxing biography's on any platform. Sky sports etc should take not on how to do it right. Amazing as always Rich. Take care buddy.😎🥊

Was he the last reigning world champion to lose a non-title fight?

Great job Rich. I wonder what happened if Chandler fought Zarate and Pintor in his era. I bet it would have been a battle as Chandler was one of the goats at Bantamweights along with Zarate, Pintor, Gaby's bro Orlando Canizales and Eder Jofre just to name several in the bantamweight division. Anyways, keep it up Rich.

Jeff (Half-Pint 5th St) Chandler The Champ!!!

I heard of Jeff Chandler !! But I never got to really know about since I was still young at the time . Definitely an awesome fighter . Love the Boxing Knowledge . Im a check out more fight footage of him . Thank You and Peace !!!

Man. That brought back memories. You should do one on James hard rock Greene he was one of my favorites growing up.

It's a shame he didn't unify with Pintor

Imagine waking up next to that lol she's probably a wonderful woman
