Joe Manley is special because he was the first fighter I signed and also my first world champion. Team USA didn’t send a team to the 1980 Olympia (because of a boycott) and Joe was lost. Nobody expected him to on to win the world junior welterweight title like he did. The pinnacle of my career was my first heavyweight champion, Michael Benntt. Bob Arum called asking if I wanted to make some money using Bentt in a tune-up fight for Tommy Morrison, who had a big money fight lined up with Levinius Lewis. Michael knocked him out in the first round (for Morrison’s WBO heavyweight title). EtAsim Saint | is like my kid. From Iran Barkley ad James Toney, I have stories about all of them.”
