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 -
