    With his financial problems and his time off for 15 months due to knee injury, Tucker didn't have much in development. After Tyson, he was just fighting on fumes.

    Gregg won the Novice Heavyweight Division in 1977 and the Open Division title in 1978. Either way, he was respected in New York, if nowhere else, and he was ranked by the WBC and WBA (in the WBA top 5) when Cooney beat him.

    By the end of 1986, Mitch Green had already spun off the rails psychologically and was no longer rated.
