Why are you interested in Marion Wilson? Anyways, heres some general info:

Heavyweight
Alias: Mo / Jackhammer / The Creep
Federal ID: DC021650
From: Hillcrest Heights, MD, USA
Born: Florence, SC 10-19-1956
Reach: 77”
Stance: Orthodox
Height: 6' 1
Trainer: Ham Johnson
W 12 (5 ko's)- L 40 - D 4

Basically this guys M.O. is that he is a career "stepping stone" for good up and coming fighters. Hes fought against an impressive list of opponents, but hasnt won more than 5 fights in the last 10 years.
Some of the fighters hes faced:
Golota, Ray Mercer, Kirk Johnson, Shannon Briggs, Corey Sanders, Oleg Maskaev, Hasim Rahman, Sam Peter, Oliver McCall, Chazz Witherspoon. He actually lost to all of them except for Sanders. A pretty impressive resume of fighters, although it would be more impressive if he had won some of those bouts

Marion was supposed to fight at the patriot center in Fairfax Va. on dec9. His bout with Juan Crlos robles fell out for some reason. I saw him fight Rahman for 10 round and made him work very hard for his Ud. Marion did fight in Baltimore a couple of years ago at the Du Burns arena and won a 6 round ud I think. Bye the way in his 40 losses he has never been knocked out or knocked down! He is in incredible shape and he is 50 now!

If you want to get incontact with him try getting intouch with Joe Hensley of Major League boxing he is the promoter. I think his web site is Majorleagueboxing.com.I will try and get his e-mail adress for you and send you a private message.

Box rec where you got that says Wilson has been down before.

Marion is a man's name is the equivalent of Daryl as a woman's name (Daryl Hannah)! :thumbsup:

I dont understand what you're trying to say "The Poster formerly known as White Tyson" but I do remember there was a man by the name of Marion who is considered a symbol for all manliness. His birth name was Marion Morrison. Some call him the Duke.
