Tony Thompson, the end of an era

[Crazylegs77]

It's time to pay respects to the last great African American heavyweight, Tony " The tiger " Thompson. This man is a throwback to the 70's and is a walking dinosaur.

yes a failed effort...........

[BillyBoxing]

He picked up boxing at age 30 and was already a middle aged man when he faced Wlad.

Thompson is proof that Rid**** Bowe and any 6'4 guy with POWER would murder Wlad.

Terrible comparison,Thompson is a southpaw...
Bowe isn't.

It's not because Pavlik knocked out Taylor that he did it to Popkins.
