Gray was a solid contender, but not "A list" material. Reliable for a good effort but always seemed to hit a wall against top opposition.

solid contender who managed to either go the distance or last a good number of rounds against a young hit man hearns when as u know hearns was flattening every one inside 3

He was a good fighter, for sure.

Good fighter but not great,,, think a ray mercer type career,, tough dude, big fights, but just was one step away from being elite or great

My friend turned down a fight with Gray. He had had 2 or 3 pro fights at the time and did not feel he was experienced enough. I think that, subsequently, he sparred with him.

grey was crafty and had some tricks, wasn't a puncher or a strong guy at 147 though

I just spoke to my friend and I was mistaken. The fighter he turned down was Adolph Pruitt

To clarify,, i didnt mean to say he fights like mercer,,, just that like mercer he was good, but could never get over the hump to superstardom

Your friend was probably lucky. Pruitt could really hit.
