    A vicious artist. Saddens me that he had to hold back in bouts due to mafia connections, but it is also a testament to his ability, considering they thought people wouldn't buy losses.

    That and the fact he struggled badly with making the LW limit for the last 3rd of his career, he was familar with the sauna, days before a defence sadly, also read they usued to flail him with hot towels in an effort to get the weight off !!!
