    Look at this guy!
    https://boxrec.com/en/box-pro/1557

    His record reads 14 wins, 38 losses, one draw and 1 no contest with 8 wins and 22 losses by knockout, which you;d think, easy workout for everyone, but when you look at his record...

    He fought the following contenders: Mike Acey, Bert Cooper, Danny Sutton, (24-9 at the time of their bout) Terry Anderson, Gary Mason, Jose Ribalta, Derek Williams, Art Tucker, Art Card, Alex Stewart, Lou Savarese, Ray Minus, Buster mathis Jr, Jeremy Williams, Adilson Rodriguez, Darnell Nicholson, Christope Bizot, Melton Bowen, Zejico Mavrovic and Cody Koch

    He fought world champions Bernard Benton, Greg Page, Glenn McCrory, Shannon Briggs, Boone Pultzs and Hasim Rahman.

    He fought world champions AND hall of famers Mike Tyson, George Foreman and Wladimir Klitschko!

    The only ones from the 90s he did not fight were Michael Moorer, Evander Holyfield, Larry Holmes, Riddick Bowe, David Tua, John Ruiz, Ike Ibeabuchi and Lennox Lewis but Im sure he'd fought them too for 1,000 dollars or more!

    Not only that , but he traveled to England, the Bahamas, Monaco, Brazil, germany and the country of Georgia plus various US states to make his living!

    If the IBHOF had a joureneyman category, he would surely be nducted!!

    I admit some of Tyson's early wins look suspect...lol

    They called him Marky "One-Time" because he fought everyone one time, unless and until he fought them again.

    Bigfoot Martin thinks this guy was a ducker.

    Bigfoot fought these guys IN A ROW:

    Bert Cooper
    Johnny Du Plooy
    Dwight Muhammad Qawi
    George Foreman
    Pierre Coetzer
    Francesco Damiani
    Bonecrusher Smith
    Michael Moorer
    Riddick Bowe
    Tim Witherspoon
    Tony Tucker
    Larry Holmes
    Herbie Hide
    Tony Tubbs

    That’s his ledger from June 1988 through February 1994. He beat only Cooper and Witherspoon of the above but was only stopped by Smith, Bowe, Damiani and Du Plooy.

    He also fought:

    Lance Whitaker
    Wlad Klitschko x2
    Danell Nicholson
    Lamon Brewster
    Fres Oquendo
    Obed Sullivan
    Ruslan Chagaev

    No Mikey Aceys or Danny Suttons for Martin.
