    I liked this guy, I think he was with angelo Dundee, very good boxer, a cple losses to spinks and saad muhamed and called it a career. IDK, I just liked the way he boxed. I guess a million guys like that, I think he couldn't take the punch of the top guys

    Seems like a smart guy who knew when to quit. After losses to two top fighters, instead of going into a long slow decline and ending up a CTE case like a lot of boxers, he retired early and became a boxing trainer and I think he still does it now.

    Good fighter, who knows, a fight with a guy like Rossman or Mustafa, might have pulled it off.

    Very good amateur. Moved too slowly in the pros. Didn't fight any contenders. Went straight from trial horses to Champions.

    Didn't have much punching power and not great stamina.
