Jerry "Wimpy" Halstead Appreciation Thread.

Great nickname.

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

 

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

But a real character.

 

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."

 

They called him Wimpy...but...he was anything but. :yep

 

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.

 

A tough trialhorse in his time, fought some big names. I give him respect.

 

back when nobody white shaved their head wimpy used to call himself "the best looking bald white guy".
