    Too bad that he was tainted by association with one of the ultimate showbiz celebrity assholes, Ryan O'Neal.

    Held great wins over Billy Backus (twice), Oscar Albarado, Ernie Lopez, Raul Soriano, Percy Pugh and Johnny Gant, not to mention at the end of his career holding two outstanding fighters like Carlos Palomino and Harold Weston to a draw. Speaking of Weston, I always felt he, Hedge and Angel Espada had the most beautiful relaxed styles I have seen. RIP champ.
