Pinklon Thomas is a former heavyweight champion of the world who took on all comers facing a murders row of opponents which included; Tim Witherspoon, Trevor Berbick, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Tommy Morrison and Riddick Bowe. However, not one of those ferocious, explosive punchers provided a battle as hard as addiction did.
“My toughest opponent was me, myself, because of the drug addiction and stuff I did,” Thomas told proboxing-fans.com.
“I was still using at the time that I was fighting all of those guys until I fought Evander Holyfield in ’88. Then I went to treatment and I got in recovery by 1989.
