    When Jake's in the right mood, he's a genial, self-deprecating elder statesman, but cross the line -- whatever he thinks that is -- 'n you'll see Jekyll turn to Hyde.

    I'd still sooner pick a fight with any of today's active pros rather than Jake or Carmen Basilio, even if they are both pushing 90.

    Heard trainer Pat Burns say, "I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good ONCE as I ever was."
