And that whole era filled with excitement. Mike Rossman's big win against Victor Gonzalez was amazing bait socially!

Ken Norton vs Muhammad Ali 1 was "pretty". Jerry Quarry because white HVYwts so rare vs Ron Lyle pretty good. I think this is one of those takes that you needed to LIVE THRU IT in order for the "weight" to be felt. For that reason we can not truly know dimention of, for instance,...

For the past 35 years I've been very fortunate to earn my living as an author and boxing journalist, so I've had the opportunity to do multiple interviews with most of the following fighters. One of the exceptions is the first name on the list, Jimmy McLarnin. I only met him him once, but it was a ...

Rocky 49-0-0 pro. Amateur-pro 1-0-returned to the amateur (a loss happened)- went back at pro. He got away with breaking the rules but just the same it was an amateur fight that he lost. Jimmy Bivins accounts for 1 loss, (2 losses?). You all know of Jimmy Bivins don't you((?)////I'm like broadcastin...

Rocky lost several times as amateur. I do believe their is one story that goes like that. DQ loss.....

I saw Rene Weller "live" once at a boxing show in Bad Kreuznach. [He was a huge star in Germany & Europe]

Jeff Hanna pretty famous amateur from Indiana. I sat next to Jeff for a Parade in West Lebanon Indiana one time. We were being driven in the local parade [a chap there flew me in from CT for the weekend and I agreed to do exhibitions boxing. It was "fun", pretty much. We did a sparring fil...

Jerry Quarry wrote me a note back one time off of me writing him, 1St. [He is someone, he TRYS HARD,EVERYTHING!]

****Marvis wrote me a letter one time. Not sure if I wrote him first..

***Reggie Johnson I called up a COUPLE OF TIMES.
[He is serious about making a comeback right now too!]

Kevin Johnson I called up one time one day. He said, call him the next day too. So I did. [he is "extremely cool good guy!" &...KJ knows about Mike Weaver like I do to that he is -LIKE- -GREAT-! (Mike Weaver a strong Christian Gentleman! He is TOO COOL)]

***Shannon Briggs I called up one time... (Me & him, I swear we have this "spirit rapor". Kinda amazing!)

I spoke to Marvis Frazier on the phone one time.
(& we had a good little conversation)

I met ***Livingstone Bramble at Ring magazine not long before he grabbed the lightWT championship from Ray Mancini. I was working at Ring on summer. [Met Pinklon thru Ring too. Bert Sugar even introduced us. '83, & a distance before he won the title][He told me he was going to "get Ray Manc...

What is the fighters name? He hangs out with Steve Acunto. He used to be about a Welterweight contender(?) //I'll get his name.

***Sean O'Grady I MEET. That was at Paz-Dele too! He was there for color TV commentary. I approached Sean and explained to him how..I used to be in his "Fan Club" (until...two Seperate Fan Clubs started fighting and things got ruin there)[Sean had two "Sean O'Grady fan clubs..."]

Another I laid eyes on only we never "spoke" was ***Gilbert Dele of France when he was the reigning champion. It was for his defense against Pazienza. Fight he lost the title in. We were all sitting at very large conference table and Gilbert sat at the other end.

Carlos Ortiz is another one I just SEE live. The times I would box on the Jimmy Burchfield promotions in RI (if I'm not mistaken..I think that is where see him). Different times. Everyone KNEW WHO HE WAS. He would be "very energetic" just bouncing around all over the place like a rubber ba...

***Sugar Ramos. I was boxing in a lh fight ("I am a natural welterweight...."). It was my 7Th pro start. We were at Worcester Mass. & my corner was ASSIGNED to me. Somewhere into the rounds already I learned that Sugar Ramos was working my corner that night. I was "surprised"...

Drake Thadzi, did not have words but..one time/I went to Brockton to drop in on the GPettineli GYM THERE! Well, while there I had to walk thru the Office sometimes. One of the times Drake Thadzi was sitting, alone (quiet).
