    right on--Michael Buffer said more or less the same (not to me personally but in an interview, i think which was shown on the HBO "behind the scenes" for the Jacobs fight); in particular he had dinner with GGG and GGG's wife and son, and Buffer remarked if he had to guess GGG's profession he would guess host of a children's show or something like that.

    One of GGG's long-time sparring partners Darnell Boone (who can crack) said that when he met GGG, they sat together at lunch and GGG expressed his admiration, and praised his skill as a fighter, asked Darnell about his family and so forth; then after lunch they went back to the gym and sparred three rounds and Boone said "GGG tried to kill him"

    very well said.

    "class" even when it must not be easy to show it--for instance, consider GGGs post-fight comments about Jacobs compared with what Jacobs said about GGG in his post-fight.

    G criticizing Canelo for not stopping a guy that was like 4'' taller, probably at least 10lbs heavier, naturally a weightclass or two above and is known to have a pretty solid chin and who was in there to survive? Come on now :lol:
