good talk

Former WBA Heavyweight Champion Michael Dokes, 53-6-2 died recently from liver cancer at "54."  Akron has always been a real good boxing town and I followed Michael's Career from the time he was 16 more happily in the beginning.  Considered to have the quickest hands of any Heavyweight of his Era alcohol and cocaine eventually stripped him  of his skills although even in his boxing dotage he had his moments with his Fight with Evander Holyfield in 1989 Ring's Heavyweight Fight of the Decade.  Michael could show a very good side and was well-liked by Many but in 2000 he beat his longtime Girlfriend beyond Recognition and was to serve 8 Years in Prison.  When asked who had hit him the hardest.....My Mother.....
