    I remember this very well, typically classy from Mickey, a real honest pro. I know Mickey, iirc he used to box for Hanwell ABC under Tony Woodley (and All Stars?) and would often see him out around Ealing. One of the good guys, a very honourable fella.

    A touching moment. Arguello was pure class.

    Duran visiting De Jesus in the hospital while he was dying of AIDS is another.

    Kostya Tszyu's grace in defeat to Ricky Hatton. Proper passing of the torch moment. Class act Kostya.

    To be fair most boxers are great with eachother after the fights, even Haye and Chisora looked classy.
