  • @capablemachine I guess should have said the EIGHTIES version of the Fat Boys. I tend to think of Jones as more of a 70s guy since that was when he hit his peak.

  • @Odawg96 What about Leroy Jones and Buster Mathis Sr?

  • Broad knocked Marvis out in the first round in the US Olympic Trials in 1980, but it was sort of a fluke. Frazier had a pinched nerve in his neck which he should have let heal, but these were the Olympics at stake. When Broad landed a punch, Frazier's entire body collapsed, even though he was completely conscious on the ground. Similar to the way Ray Mercer (!) beat Francesco Damiani with a gory punch that broke his nose upward, agony kept him on the floor.

  • @expressivechild James Broad was a team mate of mine in the Army. I will always remember the overhand right that broke my nose while we were sparring. He wasnt known as Broad Axe back then. Funny as it may sound he was known as Rainbow, I dont know why. So sad to here about his death... RIP to my old team mate and Army buddy. He was 4/23 Inf. 172nd Fort Richardson Alaska 1977

  • James Broad's career and life went downhill completely after this one defeat...

  • @jpowerspotter ~ I did. But I need more than just that... I found a little more info though.

  • At one time, Marvis Frazier was the highest regarded amateur heavyweight in the world. He had real talent as a boxer-puncher under trainer George Benton but Joe insisted on trying to turn Marvis into a copy of Smokin' Joe even though Marvis' talents lay elsewhere. Marvis should have been at cruiser also.

  • There is some information on Wikipedia if you haven't already seen that.

  • Does anyone know where can I find more info on James Broad?

  • James Broad's life is just tragic...
