I remember Pinklon Thomas well, when he won the title I thought he would be around for a while, big strong guy with some speed and a very good jab, I thought he would be very good for a long time but (alas) I was wrong.

Re: Pinklon Thomas
Pinklon was one of those talented 80’s heavyweights who was high on consumer drugs. He was supposed to be the new Ali with his excellent jab and good foot work but he did not live up to his potential like the other heavyweights at that time who had the skills but not the discipline, which is why Holmes and Tyson were fighters that came out on top during that decade. Thomas gave Holyfield a good fight as well.

Re: Pinklon Thomas
Wasnt Pinklon a converted southpaw ?
He had a crushing jab but not much of a right hand , he was spoiled by drugs .

Re: Pinklon Thomas
To be honest, I totally had forgotten who he was. Thanks a lot for remembering me as he looks quite entertaining with a bit of interesting history.
