Steffen Tangstad

He also drew with Buster Douglas over 8 rounds, beat Evangelista and the capable Lucien Rodriquez. Starting to sound like a decent resume!

 

Only remember Spinks battering him, haven't seen the fight in a while though other than that he seemed to have a decent resume.

 

The reason he wasn't a bigger star was not a lack of ability. It was him stretching the concept of how you work a nickname into your real full name too far and what that nickname is. For the American audience, his manager tried to get announcers to call him "Steffen FULL TANG STADIUM." and no one really understood what they were doing there and it led to so much rancor and frustration, and even, in one instance, a pure and hirsute pandemonium.

It caused a race riot in Chicago but when asked why it was racial, most of the audience was like "I honestly don't even know, because I didn't understand that white guy's nickname or where his surname began or ended and it seemed insulting, to be frank." And that was one of the white guys saying that, a Pole named Gus. Anyway, if it hadn't been for that and he'd have been better, he'd have been talked about as much as somebody like Morrison. I feel.
