Lorenzo Boyd. http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... r&pageID=1
They hardly make them like this anymore. He was in with Tyson, Cooper, Moorer, Morrison, Biggs, Tillis, Berbick, and even the great McNeeley.
The reason I made this topic is because I came across him on facebook and read some sad news. It looks like he is not doing to well and could use some prayers and well wishes. I sent him a quick note and he seemed to appreciate it very much. Anyone who has facebook should add him and wish him well. If you do not I would be happy to pass on a note for anyone who would like. Here is what is going on with him...
