    I've tried to trace who Marv lost to as an amateur mate (3 defeats is usually bandied about). The only definite 'L' i've discovered is Wilbur Seales, Sugar Ray's brother.

    I am not sure, I saw Nick fight a few times and he was powerfully built but looked about 5"10 and I read somewhere he was 5"10 but you know how the press is, if you are 5"11 they make you 5"9 and if you are 6"6 they make you 6"9

    biography

    I dont know if this is acurate but the Height thing is messed up. I was watching Angelo Dundee the other day on a show and he said Ali was 6"2 even but he had him fight tall, I always thought Ali was 6"3. Foreman was 6"2 1/2 but was listed at 6"4...James Toney is 5"9 to"10....Wells was stocky and quite a puncher, too bad he did not get the right people behind him ( trainers and Manager
