I find his story very interesting and am sure most would or do. I actually feel he gets underrated. A better insight on him.

Interesting read,thanks for sharing -
Rahway was responsible for getting Dwight Qawi into boxing as well, Qawi turned professional as soon as he got out though.Comment

i have 6 fights of James Scott and he was an incredible athlete, Scott always claimed he was the uncrowned champion due to him being in prison. yet i don't think he was champion material.Comment

Scott was champion material, just ask former lightheavyweight champ eddie mustafa muhamed and one of the best fighters of that era not to win a belt yauri lopez, scott beat them both while training himself in prison with out much problemOriginally posted by sonnyboyx2 View PostComment

I see James from time to time in Trenton, when I ring announce some Amateur bouts.Comment

So he's out of prison? For some reason I thought that he was a lifer.Originally posted by hhascup View PostComment

Mustafa was the #1 contender when Scott beat him. Not sure if he'd have ever beaten Saad or Spinks and he did lose to Qawi, but an excellent fighter, especially given his circumstances.Originally posted by Joey Giardello View PostComment

I remember when he was beating contenters, was quite a story. No way a champion would fight him in prison and I wouldn't blame them but he had quite a run of big wins. Did he ever get out or at least become elgible for parole?Comment

Yes, he has been out for a while. I see him from time to time at many of the Amateur Boxing shows in Trenton.Originally posted by TBear View PostComment
