We all loved him. He was short, not particularly artistic in there, and often came in out of shape. But DEAR LORD he had two-fisted power! I remembered him as primarily a hooker, but looking over these highlights, I think he did more damage with the right. He had no signature win to speak of, but gave hell to Moorer, Mercer, and Holyfield.

Well, he was trained by Joe Frazier, so the left hook thing kind of transferred over. unsure where he’d rank. I’d regard him like I now do Bakole. A dangerous entertaining guy to watch, not going to win a belt. (Although actually I dunno, having watched Dubois get knocked out like that, there’s a chance maybe Bakole could have got lucky and knocked him out had it been him in there).
Journeyman, which is what he was back then. Too small, inconsistent, but maybe a good bridgerweight if that division really exists.
