Short Biography
James Butler Jr. (born December 18, 1972 in Harlem, New York) is an American former light heavyweight boxer, former USBA super middleweight champion. In early 2001 he had a career record of 20-5-0, with 12 wins coming by way of knockout, and was nicknamed "The Harlem Hammer". On November 23, 2001, Butler sucker punched a fellow boxer, Richard "The Alien" Grant, after losing a fight, for which he was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. Butler was later convicted and served four months at Riker's Island detention facility. In 2004, Butler was arrested for the murder of Sam Kellerman and the arson of his home, and in 2006 was sentenced to 29 years and four months in prison.
