that's a shame that Marvis did not continued his amateur carrer until 1984 Olympics... I think so...

The thing is, would he have been able to deal with Tyrell Biggs?

He was a small heavyweight so I'm sure he could've made the heavyweight limit (91 kg) so he'd have to cope with Henry Tillman who he'd probably beat.

Ah!! Jimmy Clark, he seemed to have fought them all. Never quite made it as a professional. I wonder where he is now?

He was involved in criminal justice or something to that effect at one time.

I saw live Frazier against Big John Owens at the Blue Horizon. He got a gift that night. He was a novice. Would have been a good cruiser. Trained so hard Georgie Benton had to tell him to go home. Was a standout through 9th grade at PW in all sports including wrestling. His dad should never had let him into boxing. But Joe always had his eyes on that big dollar. As soon as Marvis turned pro with MSG of all places, he and James Shuler, 25 grand came Joe's way and all of a sudden he had a new bar called Smokin Joe's on City Line Ave outside of Philly til it burned down.

I wonder if his fights with Tony Tubbs were real close.You would think that Tubbs might own him.

I remember seeing both fights on national television & Frazier won the first bout convincingly.
The rematch was close, but I think Tubbs did just enough to take it.
