Before he lost his right foot, and after please.

Silkov, over here.

Don't forget to bring your measuring tape, Silkov. Hopefully it has both English and metric units.

Also, how good was Bodzianowski? Was he impressive?

Bodzianowski was OK. He had some power, some skill and some heart. But he wasn't very mobile, so when he lost his foot, fans just shrugged and said, "What the hell, he wasn't using it much anyway." And it really didn't change his style. In fact, the best part of his career came after the accident. Nicknamed "Gator" because he had a gator tattoo on left pec, then he cut a hole in his T-shirt to have a poor man's Izod.

He was tall enough to beat tough dudes like; Anthony Witherspoon, Ric Enis, Otis Bates, Andre Crowder, James Warring, Oscar Holman, and close his career with a 7 straight winning streak.
He stood toe to toe with Robert Daniels and Alfonzo Ratliff.
Good enough to make news all the way to Sweden, thought about as a possible opponent to Anders Eklund. (Dorcey Gaymon got the fight).
Not bad for a one legged white boy from Illinois!

Ha - great story.

I wonder if he snippd his shirt like Alex (Malcolm McDowell's character) does to the writer's wife in "Clockwork Orange." You know, pull shirt away from, um, pec, snip base of the resulting cone with scissors, voila! A perfect round shirthole. "Singin' in the rain, I'm (whack!) singin' in the rain..."

Which reminds me: How tall in height was Malcolm McDowell? Was he impressive?

I believe he was about a foot shorter after his accident.

No more problem with losing socks in the dryer, though.

He was taller standing up!... 8)
