how good was Mark Breland

just short of great. all the skills from his amateur career, just couldn't put it together when the headgear came off. best american amateur of all time but as a pro, far short of his potential

 

He was good enough to shoot those people playing craps in "He Got Game"

 

Those episodes of Miami Vice he was in were Classic.
Amateur ATG status is 100%.
But just short of it as a pro, That said he was defo special & potential was unlimited.
(But for whatever reason, He didn't live up to all the high expectations)

 

An outstanding amateur, only so-so as a pro.

 

A great actor but not on the level of Joshua Clottey

 

Very good fighter....big right hand power, good skills, lacked durability (look at his long neck).

 

amateur Legend....... Decent professional champion , but was expected to do so much more upon his turning pro after those amazing 1984 games in LA..

He knows boxing like a natural and managed Dominick Guinn for a very good long run..

 

Very good fighter, he gets a bad press simply because so much was expected of him after his amateur career but at the end of the day he won a legit world title and made several defences so he was no mug.

 

looks like Paul Williams, 6´2 welterweight

 

haha, well i guess there were SOME physical similarities but they really fought nothing alike.

 

He had Chin issues in the Pro's but the guy was still a pretty damn good fighter.

 

:gooddamn straight rico. his knockout to aaron davis was a combination of exhaustion and shitty chin...absolutely brutal. good trainer though

 

he's deontay wilder's trainier.


edit:

yes

 

is he still training at gleason's?
