Boxer who doesn't meet WP:NBOX or WP:GNG. The article's only link is to his fight record. The IBU whose title he fought for is not the one mentioned in WP:NBOX because that organization no longer exists, but was replaced by a minor organization that took its name.

Keep. Significant pro career, enough coverage around, e.g. a chapter in the book Rocky Lives!: Heavyweight Boxing Upsets of the 1990s about his fight with Carl McGrew. --Michig (talk) 07:44, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Winning that fight wouldn't have made him notable, but losing it does? At best it's a case of WP:BLP1E. Mdtemp (talk) 18:26, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't meet WP:NBOX. I don't think being mentioned in a book that lists nearly 100 heavyweight upsets in the 90s is sufficient to show notability, especially when it's just one man's opinion. Papaursa (talk) 05:30, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
