4 In A Bunch (yesteryear Memories)

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Damn that was a good fight for amateurs. That Terry guy had some nice uppercuts.......from that fight it appears that he was a natural southpaw who fought in the orthodox, am I right? Also what was the glove sizes, they looked pretty small.

ALL I REMEMBER IS THAT HE WAS A RIGHTY , NO IDEA IF HE WAS A SOUTHPAW TO START. I MYSELF WAS A SOUTHPAW IN THE VERY BEGINNING AND SPENT MOST OF MY CAREER, FOR BETTER OR WORSE, SWITCHING BACK AND FORTH

Nice read Scully. Its amazing some of the weight classes some guys came from. Hard to imagine Byrd at WW or Hearns at 132lbs. Hey would it be possible for you to post a link to a few of these amateur fights. I would love to Pryor-Hearns.

Also you talk about guys who dont make it for whatever (a million possibilities) reason but of all the talented amateur fighters that you saw who is the fighter you are most surprised that didn't make it or didn't make it as far as you had thought his talent could've taken him?

I saw Byrd at 139...losing to Todd Foster in 1988. Tall and skinny, that was Chris

I watched a bunch of amateurs fights that I found on youtube. The Hearns-Pryor wish it was a 12rounder it was very good, they both appeared to hurt each other a different times.

Would be interesting to see Hearns fighting today and see him against todays jrWW's.

Yea, internet (youtube) has some great amateur stuff!! Savon stopping Tua and Briggs for example.

Don't see that happening much. Did you guys have a rematch?

That video of you touring Sugar Ray's house was cool.

I tried for years to get a rematch... I won the fight, and was the favorite, ETC, BUT I knew that as pros a rematch would be big in our area (ALL of new England) and I tried hard to get it. To this day people talk about that fight with me. But he didnt want it for some reason.

And, yea, Ray was living comfortably LOL

Probably knew you'd beat him again.
