Some memorable bouts he had and IMO, I think he would have gave RJJ fits. I've said it time and time again, he would have came forward and gotten RJJ out of his game plan to give him a tough and very winable fight for Collins. I've always said this...
Sadly though the thing that stands out the most about him was his racist remark towards Eubank.
Would strongly recommend people to see Mind Games:
Also him being in the film Long Stock and 2 Smokin Barrels. He was the door man at the boxing gym and he was also in the U2 video for the song Sweetest Thing.
Stands out the most? Come on, that wasn't even a big deal back then let alone now. He said something like "Eubank thinks he's an Englishman he forgot his roots"
I bet most people don't even remember/know of it.
If memory serves me right he also said something to the extent of him not wanting to be in contact with a black man... Meaning their skin touching.
Did not know any of this. The roots thing I can understand, Eubanks was behaving like a English twit, the other stuff I did not know about.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
