    No, I never had the pleasure.

    I was just contacted by Herb Goldman and he has put my name up for an elector for the International Hall of Fame. Many years ago we did some research together so he knows me pretty well.

    A couple amateur stars who never got the chance to make it as professionals were Lemuel Steeples and Todd Hickman.

    To add to the list (apologies for any repeats): Henry Tillman, Ricky Womack, Paul Gonzalez, Andrew Maynard, Anthony Hembrick, Clint Jackson.

    Kenneth Gould looked to have something of the Ray Leonard about him - fast Feet - Blazing Hands - but lack of power found him out in the end - not sure if a lack of dedication outside the ring contributed (?) - but for short while was worth watching.
