    Great nickname.

    Wonder how much they invested in all those easy wins vs. how much the payoff was for the investors.

    He fought a lot of good heavies.

    Didn't beat any of them, but got in the ring with them.

    Let's hear it for the Oklahoma Boxing Commission!

    Oh, they don't have one?

    I don't appreciate Wimpy.

    Wasn't he a former Super-Middleweight champion?

    Looked to be the real deal until he run ointo a rampant motivated Greg Page. Never the same after that :D

    But a real character.

    Obviously, you are not worthy of appreciating Wimpy.

    The WAA champion is not "a" champion: he is THE champion.

    :lol: He beat a bum for the belt. Wimpy was never a very good fighter, but he was a great character. I appreciate him for that.

    Wrong division. He was a junior middle champ.

    Oh, wait ... that's Winky.

    Loved his quote against Morrison. Wimpy got dropped and the ref asked him if he was alright.

    "Yes, barely."

    I remember his quote when he was accused of being racist..."I've got nothing against blacks,everyone should own one"

    What a despicable character.:yep

    Also a pervert. He went to the ESPYs one year naked except for ketchup all over his chest and stomach. Tom Brady said "What are you supposed to be?" and Wimpy drunkenly said "I decided to come as a hot dog.'' Shortly thereafter, he was boinking Pat Maris backstage, rumor has it. :-(

    His resume reads like a who's who of Heavyweight boxing.

    He holds wins over Frazier,Tyson,Lewis and Morrison.

    That's Larry Frazier,Michael Tyson (I think it's a different one) Pete Lewis and Timmy Morrison.

    But Wimpy must've been a beast because he also holds a KO victory over one Charles Atlas.

    There's no kicking sand in Wimpy's face.
