IDK maybe you can get back to us after you have won world titles in in 2 weight classes and have racked up 45 pro victorys I mean how hard can that be right?

Hey no need to ask him to over achieve like that. I silver medal in the world amateur championships should suffice!

\not bad for a "hugger"

Well said mate, couldn't agree more. Such a down to earth lad an all. In his prime he was an absolute beast at 140lb.

Read the article pls

LOL. Thought he came back as a fighter. My bad.

[Cassius Liston]

He was a boxer im not talking about his style im talking about his profession.

Exactly and just because he wasn't an outside boxer doen't mean he couldn't train one as well.. all of his experience would be great and he could even direct a pure boxer how to fight because he knows all the tricks that worked on him
