I'm sorry to hear about his problems.

However, as a fighter - while he had a decent Rocky style backstory - he was a crude fighter, strong and willing, good rhythm pressure box/puncher. Tough and committed.

He was not a skilled boxer, nor a chilling one shot hitter and he was easy to hit. That's why his fights were fun.

If he was fighting in another good decade, he would be a tough 'gatekeeper' who people would have had to beat on their way to a title shot against the champ.

A Robbie Sims, Yvonne Durrell, Gerry Quarry type.
