Say Fletch, In reference to Marcy Projects, Didn't Jaz(JazO who put Jayz down in the late 80's)come from Marcy Projects my man, Also, Whatever happened to Bogger Smith who used to run with Kenny Kings in the Soul in the hole tournament in Brooklyn, Homes(Booger Smith was nice with his), I would have loved to see Booger Smith play against cats like Rafer(Skip)Alston,'I'll be right back', 'Speedy Williams', from the Bronx,Shaheen Holloway,Andre Barrett(Seton Hall),etc, I heard Booger Smith played mostly in Tournaments in Brooklyn quiet as it's kept, I never heard of him(Booger Smith)Playing Uptown at the Rucker, The cat has alot of talent, Hopefully he has it together nowdays. Your man Mark Breland had a good chance to have a nice career in acting if he decided to go that route, I remember Mark Breland from his role in the movie 'Lords of Discipline', in 1983 with David Keith(Of An Officer and a Gentleman Fame), And Mark Breland did work on an episode of Miami Vice in the mid 80's(Playing the part of an boxer with Tex Cobb as his Manager). I heard that Mark Breland is a Boxing Trainer nowdays, I still have memories of him getting junked by Marlon Starling in the mid 80's, I felt that Mark Breland had talent, But was weak phyically(Like Tommy Hearns)were he could be pushed around the ring alot and did not have the strength to fight inside, The heart was there(Along with Tommy Hearns who had crazy heart), But, The Mark Breland's body was just weak to me.
