    he's rated pretty high on the ATG list :happy :happy :happy

    this man grew up in my neighborhood right down the street from where we still hang out at......come to find out he's my friends grandpa, but since he's not really into boxing, he never told me ****....and still hasn't...my father in law is the one that told me that he was their grandpa....

    it's a trip cause all them brothers and uncles could fight, and i never really understood why...now i see that it's been in their genes forever :bbb :bbb :bbb :bbb :bbb

    to bad i dont really talk to him anymore, it would've been great to see some memorabilia......

    Wow 130 Pro. fights stopped only once and that too due to facial cuts. He must've had one helluva chin.

    .......Great, great fighter. Lived the fast life apparently, and they say it slowed him a bit. In 1984, Bert Sugar ranked him #85 all time P4P.
