What boxers have been incarcerated?

[Boxerbeetle]

there is the fella that spent twenty odd years in jail for a crime he never committed, and all he wanted to do was have one fight, upon his release his dream became a reality he had and won his fight, i cant remember his name off hand.

Didn't B-Hop take it upon himself to make sure that guy had his fight after he was released? Can't remember his name either though.

His name may have gotten thrown out once...but I'm shocked there was no more conversation about James Scott and his nationally televised fights direct from The prison yard.
