Craig Payne: The Man Who Left Mike Tyson in Tears

A look back at Craig Payne, 1980s heavyweight amateur standout who defeated Mike Tyson and Teofilo Stevenson. NOTE: Not sure on exactly how many times Payne faced Tyrell Biggs. Most sources had him facing him four times prior to the box-offs so I went with that. Also, his first amateur bout on boxrec is incorrect, a bout listed as occurring in 1975 for the United States National Golden Gloves Tournament. Payne would have been only thirteen years old...so unlikely, lol.
