	Discovered by [[Jimmy Parks]], Krueger turned pro while a college freshman. His power was due to his lightning speed, and his usually much heavier opponents were shocked when Krueger sent them crashing to the canvas. He racked up an impressive string of 13 straight knockouts, most in the first round. Krueger earned the nickname "The Pill" because fighting him would be a bitter pill to swallow for his opponents.

	Krueger's undefeated run was shockingly halted by Florida club-fighter "Big" [[Henry Hall]]. The 240-pound-plus Hall leveled him in the opening round. Krueger took the loss in stride and demanded a rematch. Over-coming a badly bleeding nose, he came back to blitz Hall in the sixth round. He started to add more knockouts to his record, including a 10-second KO over a 6-foot 7-inch African opponent.
