    This guy has to be on the list.
    Marshall Martinez - Boxer
    His mom used to drive him to East LA every day to train at DLH's gym. He was disqualified in the Olympic Trials for slapping with his punches but still got a big signing bonus to turn pro. Nothing but attitude problems and he really loved being a Fontana hood hero.

    Willie de Witt

    Canadian Amateur Champion

    Had the 'goods' in the Amateur's and was thought to be a 'Star' in the Pro Ranks.

    He did the old 'Canadian Flap-Jack'.

    Currently serving a 35 year sentence. He was the complete opposite of his cousin Steven Luevano. And more talented. Martinez beat Miguel Cotto in the amateurs. But he just couldn't stay out of trouble. When Ricardo Williams was busted selling coke Marshall Martinez was busted with him
