    I was wondering if any of you guys know of him..he was a heavyweight but recently dropped down to cruiserweight does he have what it takes to make it at that weight?

    If his chin doesn't get worse at the weight and he can keep up his workrate there (he was one of the rare heavies who can throw 100 punches a round) and he carries his power down with him, then I can see him contending in the division. He does look a lot better at 200 physically, but that doesn't mean much. I'd rather watch him than BJ Flores about 100 times out of 100.
     
  3. He is from Murfreesboro ,TN . I saw him fight live about 4 times. Very shaky chin, went down in his pro debut against light hitting Lewis Gilbert. A good test for him would be Bobby Gunn.

    Cool, a Tennessee fighter, I haven't saw him but that info doesn't seem to bode well.
