    First remembered hearing about him in the 1984 Summer Olympics in L.A. What an incredible U.S. boxing team ... Pernell Whitaker, Evander Holyfield (the DQ was a crock), Mark Breland, Virgil Hill and Tyrell Biggs.

    FWIW, I am not a massive boxing follower. But that many quality boxers on the same side?

    RIP, Sweet Pea.

    Yep, once upon a time we had a strong amateur boxing program. Now? Did we even medal in Rio?
