Supermiddle champ in the 90's. How good was he?
What style did he fight and what were his matches against the other top 168lb fighters like? (Sellier,Litles,Mitchell et all)

Pretty good tall southpaw.

His 2nd fight with Littles was a classic.

Liles/LittlesII on the undercard of Naseem was a fun fight, both down, a two minute round saving people...

Liles was a fair champ, but you always fancied his chin would let him down sooner or later.
