    Axel Schulz beat Foreman, but he was robbed by the judges and never given a rematch. Then he lost to Francois Botha for the vacant IBF belt, but it turned out Botha was on PEDs. Then Schulz lost to Moorer for that same strap. Very interesting story.

    Who told Billy Backus he could actually win the welterweight championship over legendary Jose Napoles?
    Yes it was by cuts, but still , he can claim what many better fighters than him who faced Napoles cannot.
    He actually can say he beat "Mantequilla".
