I met him at a youth boxing event Oct.'86 in Chatham N.Y, got his autograph and even then he had an "eye" for the young girls. He spent most of his youth only 10 miles from where I live, in the Johnstown area at a youth home. That's where he learned about boxing. A troubled youth that never got pass his upbringing. When he hooked up with King, the career would soon go downhill. I fear the end will be soon for him.

HHH: "coked up" and narrowly misses a head on collision....I fear you are correct.

You know what I find boggling? That more people would rather talk about this animal than a guy like Barry Zito who has the potential to be the best pitcher of all time.

That's when he was suppose to be the next "Ali" or better, back then
he had all the tools to be great...as a boxer. But, like most tools...they get misplaced thru time. His "tool box" is almost empty.
