		By James Slater: Although he is best known today as a fighter who was one of boxing’s most prominent Trial horses/journeymen, there was a time when James Tillis was a highly tipped prospect.
		Not surprisingly, due to the fact that James’ fights eventually and regularly became losing efforts, this one too was a loss for the man also known as “Quick.” It was the 22nd time he’d tasted defeat in a very long career.
		James was tying him up and using his still quick hands to good effect.

	Thinkin Big: The Story of James "Quick" Tillis, the Fighting Cowboy - Books - Boxing Equipment - Boxing.net
		Tillis is suprisingly good humoured about his disheatening story, and this book is written in Tillis's country "twang" and slang and will often have you laughing out loud.
		Years later Tillis would find out the reason for his sudden stamina problems late in fights were down to a series of severe allergies to things like milk, eggs and all the other things a boxer would pack himself full of leading up to a fight.
		Tillis' only victory against a top ten fighter was a decision he was "given" over Earnie Shavers in June 1982 when Shavers, at age 37, was well past the prime of his career.

		TILLIS BOOK: ECW Press of Toronto has published a book on the life of boxer James "Quick" Tillis, with Tillis providing the narrative and J. Engleman Price transcribing.
		For instance, Tillis admits he broke his best friend's arm with a baseball bat as a kid; that he was sent to jail for failing to pay child support; and that he threw a 1991 fight to Tommy Morrison in Atlantic City.
		Tillis also has the curious habit of referring to his first wife as "Jane Fonda" rather than by her actual name, and the tales of sex and womanizing are sometimes a bit overbearing.

	BoxingInsider.com Forum -> James "quick" Tillis Vs. Mike Tyson
		This was a test for an upcoming Tyson, because he took mike the distance and Tyson was young and inexperenced, so it was a true test for an upcoming tyson.
		Tillis laid the blueprint on how to frusterate, at least make the fight competitive against a young Mike Tyson.
		Tillis was a good opponent for a 19 year old Tyson, obviously not great, but he'd beat the 2 chumps that fought for a title tonight with little difficulty.

	James Quick Tillis - Boxing Forum
		Quick Tillis fought Tyson very early in his career, before Tyson had hardly over 20 wins.
		If only Quick Tillis were not at the end of his proffessional fighting career and more physically gifted when he matched against Mike Tyson I am quite sure that he would have been the first one to defeat him.
		Tillis was a big step up for a 19 yr old heavy, and Tillis fought a very clever fight to survive Tyson's obvious power.
