    No it wasn't Ike. He was an American if memory serves. They were both signed to exlusive contracts by MGM boss Dennis Finfrock.

    Bowe had an agreement with the MGM for a while too. Gonzalez is the one they really took a bath with

    I was going to say Drederick Tatum,though I believe he was incarcerated for pushing his mother down a flight of stairs rather than raping somebody.

    Found the name on another site, sweetboxing.com

    Jonathan Grant. Decisioned Obed Sullivan in his debut then got decisioned by Derrick Banks in his second fight. Was 3-1-1 (2) before his incarceration. Was hyped as having 'Ali's footwork', Lison's power, the jab of Larry Holmes, etc'
