    The Boxing Commission gave him a provisional license. "This fighter is bad to the bone." Never knew the word quit. His leg was amputated from a tragic motorcycle accident. No local boxer was willing to spar with an amputee, let alone fight him professionally. " This is part #1 of a Tribute to his memory." He was a friend of mine, and deserves to be Honored. What is his name?

    Craig “Gator” Bodzianowski fought for I think the WBA cruiser title.

    There was a nice thread on him here recently by someone who he coached.

    You nailed it! I missed the thread. He is featured on, " Windycityimages.com" in Gallery, On The Ropes

    Also on YOU TUBE, "RATLIFF VS. CRAIG BODZIANOWSKI "

    A credit to all handicapped kids. To achieve their goals.

    I remember seeing him fight on ESPN a couple of times back in the day. Tough guy.
