    And what a career it was. No doubt he'd have been a multiple weight division champion today. And even still a heavyweight champion if he got say a Ruiz level opponent.

    A very kind man. I remember reading that when Sonny lost the title, everyone went to Ali's locker room...except Floyd. He went to say a few words to the man who knocked him out twice in one, and Sonny never forgot the one guy who cared.

    You see that same kind of thing here when he talks about his wife, or his adopted son, or just how much he likes being with the people.

    Real shame he lost some of his faculties later on. Lot's of knock downs in his career. Thank god he got out when he did.

    Thanks for posting. RIP champ.
