    Frazier was a class act to anyone unless you were Ali or praised Ali in his face.

    Dempsey...inside the ring forget it. No quarter until the fight was over. Then he helps you up and steadies you to your stool. Outside a gentleman.

    Yes, of course, Dempsey. A must inclusion. Carried himself very well.

    Yeah, Roberto mellowed a bit with age but then he couldn’t have become any meaner than what he once was, could he? He was a nasty piece of work in his hey day. :D

    So what are you saying Boxed?

    That La Motta was more an engaging kitten than a raging bull?

    If you accent on the positive and eliminate the negative, I guess it’s not a completely out there opinion.

    On topic, there’s an Australian series called Mr Inbetween. You should check it out.

    The main character is a no nonsense hit man but, putting that triviality aside also, he’s a very nice fella.
