    Pretty amazing career...Some how made welterweight to begin his career and was at a time world ranked there.
    Then moves to jnr middle where he gets two shots at a title..drawing once and losing SD the other time. Also gets knocked out at this weight only to avenge the loss immediately after.

    A supermiddleweight in 99-2000....A lightheavyweight in 2001.

    Then comes to the cruiserweight division IMO beats Johnny Nelson, only to get a draw..Drops a split to future champion Steve Cunningham.

    Beats Kelvin Davis and Wayne Braithwaite on his way to dethroning Aslan for the WBA cruiser title in a classic fight.

    I think this guy is a poster boy for fighters who are just genetically suited to jumping up in weight successfully...having a 6' 4" frame to grow into certainly helps aswell.

    I cannot recall seeing any fight of his outside of his cruiser fights to tell you the truth.

    His fight with Aslan is a goodin.
