Ted Gullick (born 1945-01-01 in Youngstown, Ohio) was a boxer from the United States. He was a highly regarded Heavyweight prospect in the early 1970s. Gullick stood slightly over 6 feet and in his prime weighed 195 lbs. His ring style was similar to former heavyweight champion Joe Louis; as he sort of shuffled in the ring, threw crisp punches.
Gullick compiled an amateur boxing record of 43-1-0, with 41 knockouts, 22 in the first round. His only amateur loss was in a prison match; though he knocked out his conqueror in the rematch. He went on to win the Cleveland Golden Gloves at Light heavy in Feb. 1963 and then won the National Golden Gloves at Light heavy in Mar. 1963. Gullick served time in prison for fighting with a group of police-officers. While in prison he fought in finals of the Ohio State Reformatory Silver Gloves on May 4, 1968.
Gullick was trained by Sammy Greggs and turned pro after being released from prison. In his 6th professional fight he upset world rated Ray Anderson (29-1-0), by kayo. Undefeated through his first 11 bouts, Gullick was considered by some experts to be a better prospect than George Foreman. However, his career suddenly took a nose-dive in 1971, and instead of meeting Foreman in a match-up of unbeatens, he met him with 5 losses on his ledger.
Knockout defeats to the likes of Terry Daniels, Cleveland Williams, George Foreman and Duane Bobick ended his career.
