    Rest in Peace

    He was very durable, he was the first to go the distance with Wladimir Klitschko, in Klitschko's 18th pro fight.

    https://boxrec.com/en/event/8187/12417

    He fought nearly everybody of his time: Foreman, Coetzer, "Bonecrusher" Smith, Moorer, Bowe, Hide, Qawi, Holmes, Tubbs, Witherspoon, Brewster, Lyakhovich, Chagaev, Oquendo, Damiani, etc.

    He had a win over Tim Witherspoon, breaking Witherspoon's 12 fight winning streak.

    That’s a darn shame, they don’t make them like Bigfoot anymore. Rip Mr. Martin.

    Oh no!

    Another little bit of the past glory of Tuesday Night Fights slips into eternity. RIP hairy man!

    I'lll never forget that Sean O'grady desperately wanted to ask him why he was called "Bigfoot" when he used had little feet, and when he finally got the chance, Martin simply replied "I don't know," devastating O'Grady.

    I am guessing it was the body hair.

    Anyway, sad, sad news, and this thread is a testament to how a tough, scrappy club fighter can affect the fans.

    I remember the Foreman fight well. Martin was praying in the corner between rounds and Big George seemed disgusted by it all.
