    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.

    Wow that was a nice counter right, but Tua offered his chin up nicely.

    Duane Bobick made Holmes quit.
    Savon knocked out Brewster, Tua and many other american heavyweights.
    Chris Byrd was stopped by Joe Calzaghe in 3 rounds.

    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
