    Frank Bruno is one of the politest and most respectful men you could ever wish to meet.

    Floyd Patterson had class as a human being, man and fighter. Your post is really good and truthful, to the point.

    Livingstone Bramble was a VERY nice guy and was very funny.
    Very approachable as well.
    Hector Camacho was actually a very nice person from what I remember - he just seemed really hyper and his attention seemed to drift in and out.
    I met those two only once but they seemed very nice and I think Hector was just prone to doing crazy things like when I saw him in a boxing gym he was hitting the heavy bag and all of the sudden he starts doing like karate on the bag: kicking it making noises like Bruce Lee when he was striking the bag. Everybody in the gym just stopped and was watching him and he kept on doing his "karate".

    Isn't Michael Spinks an OK guy by all accounts?

    Yes he is. Had the pleasure of spending some time with him a couple weeks back, went to some bars etc; Nice guy who doesn’t really have a bad word to say about anyone. Will see him again next month.

    I agree. Fighters in general are the nicest pro athletes you'll meet. They just tend to get a little amped up when a fight is at hand.

    Always had the impression, could be way off the mark, that Ezzard Charles was a gentle soul.
