    That's after heavy media baiting though, just after the first Spinks fight he was gracious, it wasn't until the press got to him that he got pissed. He could be a little more gracious now though, it's not like they're still ripping him up.

    Someone get JohnThomas1 and RoccoMarciano arguing. I don't know what they were saying, but it looks great.

    I haven't been around in a while, so I don't know how long you've been using that avatar, John. That one is my favorite.

    Jack Dempsey was not well liked as he was seen as a draft dodger.

    But there was a reporter around when his wife stormed in and asked what happened.
    "I forgot to duck."
    Those four words made fans for him, from those who had disliked him before.


    I agree totally about hearns....the true gentelman of his era.
