    Trust me he is 6' even. Why don't you tell me why his pro career was a flop.Milligan was obviously the better pro as his record speaks for itself.

    Upon further research I had also found out it was extremly challenging for Nick to find sparring partners. According to several sources ,Nick had trouble both at the amateur and pro level in finding guys that would get in the ring and spar with him. I could see how this could hinder someones development especially the developent of stamina .

    I did also find a fight of Nick Wells online @ historic films.com when he fought Yuri Nesterov in a USA vs USSR tournament in LV @ Ceasers palace yet it is unviewable and it only gives the text of what happened .Wells KO'D Nesterov in 1:15 of RD 1 . It'll cost 250 to get it transfered digitally which is bs.

    Also other notable wins on Wells record to the National AAU Title was Scott Ledoux and he beat Leroy Jones in the final for the hardware.

    Stamina is developed best by aerobic training .
    What may suffer from d absence of sparing is primarily technique .

    True and at the same time in ring sparring does improve technique, you also develop your gas tank by going several rounds accompanied by roadwork. People who were around him told me that dudes were terrified to get into the ring w him. James Toney said all he would do for stamina was spar for 10-12 rounds and I'm others have done it as well.

    i read it d 1st time u posted it . of course there is no justification even 4 a single Dollar , let alone (d risk of) sending credit card number over d internet 4 no footage . i'd rather take your word 4 it because those who doubt could keep doubting even after reading that text .

    u can add EPO 2 what Toney said . I typed "best" in contrast with "only" . If u want your stamina improved u'd rather skip d bruising part . sparing should b minimized .

    If Wells had the right backing and schooling he would have made a fine pro, the guy had sick power, They took Holmes out on a stretcher the 1st fight and Holmes was ready for the rematch but once he got tagged he went down they took him out on a stretcher again. Wells may have needed some schooling but he was one of the hardest punchers in the amateurs.

    Do you mean the national aau title? Bobick won the 72 national golden glove title in Minneapolis stopping Wells. I saw it live but can't remember now if it was the second or third round. A straight right to the chest droped Wells and ended it.
