If history is any guide... he is not going to amount to much unfortunately.
Wish him the best.

Eh. Main Events?!?!? He musta not been a very good amateur. Seems like TR, PBC or Oscar woulda picked him up if so.

Boxrec gots him losing to my Michigan brother Joseph Hicks as an amateur.

Was thinking the same thing. A drug cheat just like daddy. His son is named after his drug nickname when he cheated like meatnello.

Maybe he can be okay. It’s a very athletic family, his brother played running back at the university of Georgia.

Question, in the history of boxing, has there ever been an all time great Son when the Father was formerly an all time great before? I can’t think of any “great” father and son fighters right now. You have the following but none of these pairs were considered both great fighters. In no particular order.

1. Julio Cesar and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
2. Floyd and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
3. Floyd and Tracy-Harris Patterson
4. Wilfredo and Wilfredo Vazquez Jr.
5. Joe and Marvis Frazier
6. Hector and Hector Camacho Jr.
7. Shane Mosley and Shane Mosley Jr.
8. Lenny and Ray Mancini
9. Chris and Chris Eubank Jr.
10. Leon and Cory Spinks
