Good stuff.
I read The Last Great Fight (a really good book about Douglas-Tyson) and it was sad to hear about how bad Buster's weight got. Nice to see him looking healthy.
I haven't read that one yet, that sounds like a great book concept though.
If they were all to fight right now, who would you pick?
Holmes vs. Douglas
Holmes vs. Spinks
Douglas vs. Spinks
Spinks beats them all, he's in better shape.

Ryan, thanks for sharing these. Next time theres one of these benefits, please let a non-professional boxing writer know! :D
I actually didn't know until last minute myself. I'll definitely make sure to publicize these events a little more. I think the Teddy Atlas Foundation Dinner is coming up.

He said he had gotten chunky after boxing because after he put on all that weight to go to heavyweight it was a lot to maintain. He lives down in Delaware now, great guy.

Yeah, Spinks really doesn't look much different from his boxing days.

He wasn't in too bad of shape, he was about 280 or so. Spinks looked pretty slim actually though, he said he had been cycling a lot.QUOTE]
Yeah it looks like it. Spinks really doesn't look much different from his boxing days.
Thanks for sharing. Douglas actually looks in decent shape for being out of boxing as long as he has. I remember when he madea comeback he said he didv it mainly to lose weight and get in shape to save his life.

Very nice.....
Thankyou for taking the time to share these.....much appreciated.
No worries, it's all cool.
This guy isn't a Hall of Famer like those guys but I just like this pic. He's a local boxer JV Tuazon, we used to go to war in sparring when we were kids. He's a great hand doctor.
