    Known for Bowe vs Holyfield two, what if he appeard in more than one significant fight? Was security looking out for him? I think could do more. It not easy landing in the ring. He could have taken his act around the world and appeared in many fights in multiple weight classes. The Orient, latin America, the UK. Thoughts?

    I'd pay him to swoop down and stop a Johnny Nelson fight. I'd also pay him to swoop in, pick up Canelo and throw him out of the ring spread eagle, then fly away into the sunset.

    I miss the days when boxing was a big part of pop culture.

    I doubt they would fire on low flying unmarked air plane in most countries. I think he under achieved, sort of. Could you image him flying in for an international match say Korea vs Japan?.

    I was just being silly.

    But yes. You can add the Fan Man to the threads about boxing's underarchievers.

    I believe he was a protester against the violent sport of boxing. The ironic thing is that he got beat the **** out of upon getting bounced from the ring to the curb. I remember rock Newman landed a few good punches on him, as well as many sucker Punch s from random fans.

    This wrinkle in Time affected the fight. I would be lying if I remembered how come lol.

    James Miller(as that was his name) began suffering some serious heart issues in the 90s,had surgeries that didnt help or work.had other surgeries to correct the past ones but it didnt help with his chest pains.
    Due to his mounting medical bills from his issues I guess he just gave up.In september 2002 he drove into the Alaskan wilderness to die.
    His decomposing body by chance bu some bushwhackers in march 2003.He had hanged himself by a tree.
    It is believed he went so mu h off trail to never be found.
    Sadly he is survived bu his at the time pregnant girlfriend who gave birth to their son shortly before he was found in 2003.

    If he kept doing it, at some point they’d post snipers at the top of some nearby buildings and just pick him off.

    Then the fans should be allowed to bring hand guns.
