    Was watching Lamar Parks fight with Baptiste and it got me wondering, maybe not the most talented but the guy had potential, no doubt. The class of the middleweight division in the 90's was crazy aswell..... Jones JR, Hopkins, Toney, McCallum, Kalambay, Jackson, Nunn, Johnson, McClellan. Guy could have been in some wars.

    Hungry fighter aswell at such a young age, apparently offered a backhander to step aside and let Jones Jr and Johnson get it on.
