    Fought a undefeated, 71-0 Cesar Chavez. Meldrick Taylor, Ramos... So on and so forth.

    Seemed to be a real banger. 59 KO's in 65 wins.

    Anyone know anything about him or remember him?

    A good journeyman with a cliche nickname, who did not carry the power his stats suggest to the the top level of the 135/140 divisions.

    The thought had crossed my mind, except you did post pics of yourself with a body builder's pose. unless that was one of the boys that you photo shoot in the basement with a web cam....

    Ahahaahaa. Shhhh. I don't need the party van breaking down my door. :tong

    No, boxing and bodybuilding are equal interests in my life.

    I don't go to gyms. Don't play the cliched slapass bodybuilding routine with a bunch of idiots. I do it alone and I do it for other reasons then most.

    Etc etc you don't want to hear my life story but yeah. :good

    I am about to go to the gym and lift right now. Except I don't really do body building routines right now. I mainly stick to a total body workout with about 30 minutes of cardio..
