    I was looking at Winky Wright's boxrec and noticed Harry Simon was the only guy who beat Winky in his prime years (minus Vargas fight who I thought Winky beat). He beat Winky for the WBO strap at 154 (majority decision), held that for 3 years, then moved up to 160 and beat Armand Krajnc for the WBO strap at 160. Then he got stripped of the title when he was sent to prison for negligent driving killing 3 people. He had a comeback fight in 2007 after being released from prison but then was sent back to prison after he lost his appeal. He is still undefeated.

    So how good was this guy? Anyone remember him?

    VERY good box puncher. I remember when he came here and destroyed Wayne Alexander. He was also supposed to be in Don Kings tourney but i think his car accident cut that short as most thought he would never come back after career injuries like that.
