    he really was dynamite in the early part of his career...love looking at old videos of him prior to coetzee...

    how good could he have been if he looked after himself ?...or did he reach his potenial ?

    his style i think would have made for a short prime, but it still makes me wonder how the drug abuse affected him..

    I don't think his upside is as high as many would've made it to be, but he could've been a decent champion for a few defenses.That hand speed was no joke, but he wasn't as big as he was listed, which would've definitely hampered him to some degree.
