He had a style that was nothing like I'd ever seen before, absolute speed, power and precision, he was all muscle and menace and he was absolutely TERRIFYING ..... he's go after people like they said something bad about his mother.
I saw his 4th pro fight and immediately knew that this was a great great fighter just waiting to happen ..... he ended up dominating the heavyweight circuit for nearly 20 years.
