[montrealsuper]

Willie The Cannon Shannon was once a Ring magazine "Prospect of the month" in 1979 - he just got sentenced for fifteen years in prison for a rape/slaying of a teenaged girl 35 years after the crimes - does anyone recall Willie The Cannon Shannon??? --- http://spam.com/2016/03/15/the- ... or-murder/

Vaguely, Cruiserweight, tall and rangy? I can't recall a specefic fight, but I remember reading about him. Maybe he got sparked by ST Gordon.

Of that era - he lost to marvin camel and dwain bonds by stoppage - his only two losses - tall rangy cruiser 6-ft 4 - 190 - had the build to be a force - presumably not the head -
