    This guy is forgotten, but he could really fight.

    Early on won two decisions over future multi titlist Daniel Zaragoza and lost two SD to future bantamweight champ. Richie Sandova. Also beat future champ Kelvin Seabrooks and former Lt Fly and future fly champion Hilario Zapata. Career went downhill after he lost a decision to future champion Greg "the flea" Richardson late in 1984. He had trouble getting significant fights after that.

    I think the Sandoval fights probably hurt him.Him and Jackie Beard probably could have been champs on right scenario.

    I had no idea Harold was such an accomplished pro. I remember him more as an amateur boxer.
