    That's what the amateur fights are for and I doubt Jimmy would of last a round after Tyson's style was defined.
    Jimmy Who??

      Tyson got stopped by Al Evans in 1982...I think it was the third, though,...

            Young Scully how are you? This is Ray Corso the original trainer from Ring One in Hamden Conn. I had Ray Bright, Martin "Ike" Williams in the abf and Felix Marquez and Wilfredo Franco in the pros. Do you remember the "Hamden Hammer" Kenny Schmidt hahahaha and Jerry "Whimpy" Halstead? I remember you John when you started with Mac, and kept tabs on you through your boxing career. I hope your well and happy too, best to you.

            I handled Mike for Cus at the JO Nationals (first year Colo Springs Oly. Center) and a few other shows I think the old man wanted me to keep an eye on Teddy more than the kid hahahaha!! Ray.

                There's some errors in the beginning. The article talks of an first round K.O but then it was a third round K.O

                  But I love your inputs to these boards. Amateur competition is rather fierce, and well overlooked by pro boxing fans.
                  Some of your best money spend, if you want entertainment, are some of the bigger amateur events.
