    James Toney played Joe Frazier in the film Ali.

    Lennox Lewis used to take a nap for approx an hour before every fight.

    Schmeling helped out Joe Louis in his later years financially and even paid for his funeral.

    I sat right behind Roy when Kelly fought Rubio in Youngstown. He was just exactly like you describe there, he must have taken a thousand pictures with folks.

    Also, just like you, I decided the "coolest" thing to do would be to not bother him, though now I regret not taking advantage of talking more to him to this day. :good
