The 'Big Cat' from Yoakum, Texas
* Possessor of the big left hook, called 'The Pulpwood Punch'
* And a right hand, called 'The Boat Punch'
* With massive 13" fists, what ever he hit, fell.
* His muscular body, scared half of his opponents into defeat, without ever being hit.
* '51' Knockouts in his '65' wins. The most knockouts registered of any active fighter.

And as John Hollis of the Houston Press said, 'The guy has the most perfect
physique of any fighter I have seen. A superbly conditioned athlete, one
who could have been a Greek God, or least the Olympic Decathlon Champion.

'If I had my choice, I would have guided him towards the Olympics, and turned
him into a World Champion Athlete, not a fighter where the rewards are sometimes
boo's not cheers. What a wasted talent in my eyes.'
