    I haven't heard a thing about this Arkansas heavyweight for awhile. Boxrec indicates he has not fought in over three years. He is undefeated and apparently could punch a bit but it seems he has fallen off the face of the Earth. Anyone know what happened to him?

    There may be more to this than meets the eye - - - still, he hasn't fought in 3 years - - - seems like enough time to forgive and forget. And get a career back on track. Is the problem that his manager/promoter is trying to punish him or something?

    Chapman, with some disgust, announced his retirement after he apparently turned down Haye. Maybe he was insulted by the money offered. Either way, dumb to retire after one missed opportunity (that he may not have even wanted at that early stage of his career).
