I always thought from the few fights I saw him in that Highsmith looked quite usefull. I am not saying he was a potential World Champion but he seemed to have reasonable skills and power etc.

But I think he suffered with a lot of injuries such as bad hands and maybe elbow/shoulder problems?

Does anyone know what he did when his Boxing career ended?

I agree.

Not sure any of them are tomato cans apart from the Basketball guy.

I'm shocked Chuck Gardner or Kevin P Porter have not been mentioned.
