              Obviously a person who doesn't care about boxing.
              He's got plenty of company on this site.

                  sup Iceman...I was buzy all last night, so this is my first time on since yesterday...I myself can recognize some names from my dad talking about them..but I am going to ask him when I talk to him today.

                  Name that I (Vincent Webb JR) can recognize

                  Milton McCrory- my godfather
                  Stevie McCrory- godfather's brother, RIP
                  Sugar Ray- Pops got a HUGE picture with him at home, pops was named to Ray's "All-Star" boxing team
                  Arthur Johnson- St. Louis fighter who came up with Pops
                  Randy Cross- basically my dad's "brother"...him and his (Randy) brother, Mike Cross
                  William Guthrie- my worked his corner when he was a pro...I came out and held the BUCKET as a kid!!!
                  Louis Howard- another close friend of my dad's
                  Jerry Page- Pops beat him twice, Jerry went on to make the 84 team and won the gold. He and pops stay in touch
                  Tommy Hearns- good friend of Pops...Pops trained with Hearns & McCrory when he lived in Detroit and trained at KRONK gym

                  those are the names that I know...but as I said, when I talk to him today, I'll ask him and reply. Take it easy Iceman!
