Anyone ever see him fight, or recognize the name? Sad story, anyway. Spent the majority of his life until his 20's in prison, and after making something of himself as a fighter, he's murdered. Fought EXACTLY like Tyson. You'd think everything he knew about boxing was gleaned from watching videos of Tyson... But Julian did it well, and had some serious power. Hence his nickname, Mr. KO. Supposedly had one of the Best LH matches ever against Julio Cesar Gonzalez. Also fought and gave Jirov hell.

I just about saw two or three of his fights and got started liking what i saw and tragedy struck him down.. He was good as much as we got of him.. very sad..
Gonzalez fight was great, but I wouldn't say he gave Jirov hell. Jirov was much stronger at Cruiser and dominated that fight, breaking down Letterlough methodically. Entertaining light heavy, though, just not championship caliber.
He was a good fighter who could have been a champion had he had a top flight trainer. He really hurt himself by moving up to Cruiserweight to fight Jirov.
saw him lose an explosive encounter to richard hall,another big hitter. both were down,hall won by tko in the 2nd i think...
no, i wasn't there in person. it was on one of those late nite boxing shows we get in the uk. have it on tape somewhere,am sure it caught my eye the other week.
