    Just saw this journeyman heavyweight passed away about a week ago. He started his career 22-0, winning a trinket along the way and earning him a world ranking. I remember a lot of his fights on ESPN back when I first was getting into boxing. He had a cool story, having served a tour of duty in Desert Storm, which was also his boxing nickname. Details are sketchy on his death. He was 44 years old.

    Wow...!!! R.I.P. Robert Davis.

    I worked with Keith McKnight, and we fought Robert for the NABF Heavyweight Championship. Davis won via 5th Round KO. Davis was very gracious, and a humble young man.

    Had all the makeup to be a decent boxer, just needed better management behind him.
