Ferguson was tough and fearless, he'd step in the ring to fight anybody.
Yes, yes... Jesse "The Boogeyman" Ferguson. He was rated as a top contender with championship quality. Analysts really felt he would be able to "do it"- and particularly compete with Mike Tyson.

The hype around Ferguson now kinda makes me think about the shiite hype around Seth Mitchell. Seth Mitchell CLEARLY doesn't have the skills or the resume to be in the top 15- but he was, and he was being touted as a major contender. Thank God Arreola saw to it that the fraud was exposed- if J. Banks hadn't already done so.
