    I've never seen the man fight. Apart from having the greatest nickname in the history of the sport, is he a good fighter?

    I must confess, I've never seen him fight. His record is pretty good and he seems a durable type. Went 12 with Andre Ward and 10 (the distance) with Jean Paul Mendy.

    Is he a boxer or a slugger? Exciting? Any information is appreciated...

    I heard of him he's actually a friend he stays in DC, his last big fight was a lost to andre Ward, he has 2 loses on his resume I think he's like 19-2. Ward didn't knock him done ok KO him though, you can see that fight on YOU Tube

    I saw him fight his 4th or 5th professional fight in Bowie, Maryland (outside of DC). At the time he looked like a very good prospect and outclasses his opponent but the guy he fought was a bum. 19-2 is a pretty good record I haven't seen him fight in awhile tho.
     
  7. I saw him fight on Shobox like a year ago. He was on The Contender 2 seasons ago. I didn't come away overly impressed... Great nickname though fo real.

    He has a good chin and decent handspeed, but that's about all. I've seen him about 5 times or so now. He could barely land a punch on Ward, and by the end of the fight, he was just trying to show how hard he was by not getting KOed.
