    His only loss was to John Collins who was a decent enough. Colllins best win was the undefeated LaPaglia whos claim to fame acme 12 years later when he lost to an old Tommy Hearns. Collins retired with 2 losses, one to Sibson who was famous for beating Minter in Minters last fight and also had a loss to Hagler. His other loss was to Sims who had an SD over Duran in 86 and who had losses to big names like Kalambay, Benn and Paz.

    So at least his only loss is connected to some big names.
