I remember Tevita fairly well, and TrapsMcLats beat me to it...his gyno probably fought back and strangled him or something!
Parker- are you referring to the 2000 USA's where Tevita lost out the overall to our own Bob Chick? Or the year before when he lost, not only the overall but his class, to Garret Downing?
Speaking of Garret Downing, he's another guy that disappeared after turning Pro. Great look, did a few contests but needed more leg size and once the family came calling he quietly retired.
i'm talking about Garrett Downing, who looked great when he won, Tevita was lucky to even place second behind him, because Garrett was first and second!
Yeah Garrett and that beaver looking haircut of his left the scene. He had poor showings, and either wasn't big enough, or never was too smoothhe reminded me of Patrick Henry, loads of potential, but never could get it right ...Also he was in the Army prior to winning. Funny how the black dudes in the military have quirky personalities, Downing and his beaver/conked hair and JOJ and his G4P dancing thong background. And both their wives looked almost exactly alike.
