    I keep reading about this bloke being some kind of super bad, mean mother****er, Charlie Big Potatoes, who used to be Tyson's sparring partner(?) and is now a 'guest' of some of the after dinner speakers' events.
    Who the **** is he, and why the celebrity status being afforded him?
    Am I missing something?:huh

    A very good story-teller. Apparently the only man who could survive three rounds of sparring with 18-year-old Mike Tyson.

    he was tysons sparring partner for a few years ,

    tyson never knocked him down and he became very good freinds with him

    he never had a carear in boxing as he was involved in a car accident

    he has been shot and his book is out its a good read

    is this so called 'toughest white man on the planet' the same guy who finished with a 3-1 log, having fought against men with a combined record of 12-42-6, and who got ktfo in his penultimate bout by a guy with a sturdy 5-20-3?

    Toughness and boxing talent aren't the same thing.

    Never judge a book by its cover mate.....
    He's actually a very nice guy and classy for that matter.

    **** jewellery though, i'll give you that. Tyson pretty much regards him as a brother.
