    That's exagerated and wrong.

    He waslked around 175-180 when he fought and he had only 1 SMW fight.

    But he did have more problems making 160 than fighting.

    IMO he is as close to the ATG's and isn't as anyone else.

    I remember during at least 2 of his fights telecasts the commentators said he walks around at about 180.

    Which sounds about right,you'd think he'd be taking off 40 lbs for every fight?

    And quite frankly he was kinda tall and thin.

    Holy ****, that wasn't the only time he lost 3 in a row either....the first half of his career was shocking . Then the second half he was unbeaten, crazy.

    Good old Eric Crumble got off on a rough 31 fight losing streak. Nothing like losing TKO 1 in your 29th fight to a guy making his pro debut. Ouch.

    And there's the guy I won't remember... Polish, I think?... who "broke" Marciano's record... 50 straight defeats, no victories. Sorry, don't have the name/link... but I think he's still active and building on the streak.

    There was a boxer called Steve Robinson from Wales and he had a record of 13-9-1 when he won the WBO featherweight title.

    He was the guy who Naz beat when Naz won his first title.
