Tommy Hearns was always classy in victory n defeat. I remember when he KOed James Schuler in 1 round n took his belt, tragically James was killed 7 days later on his bike n Tommy went to his funeral n placed the belt on his coffin n said he was the real champion of the belt as he held it longer. Don't make em like Tommy anymore.
Most boxers are some of the nicest and friendliest classy people at least the ones ive seen. But its the one w/negative behavior that catches mainstream media. I hate when commentators say who and who is classy, and a delight outside the ring. Or is a very thoughtful, intellectual young man. Announcers dont make it a point to say these qualities about other athletes in nfl, mlb, golf or whatever.
