    Tyrell Biggs certainly made an impression in only three rounds. I remember watching that tournament with a friend of mine. Seemed like all the top names bailed out at the last minute, because they were supposed to be fighting for a million dollars. They had some money in a briefcase, but I don't know how much was in there.

    Tony's answers seem honest. Some guys will say the best guys they faced were the guys they beat, but Tony was more honest than most.

    Tony seems like a cool guy. If he had went for the 1980 Olympics, maybe he could have beaten Stevenson if we went. No one was going to outbox him from that 80s crowd, only Page and he came in listless for their fight, and Tony did get better from their amateur fights.

    Didn't seem to think much of Bowe, good read, as these often can be.
