    This is a man who spent 26 years behind bars wrongfully accused. 2 snitches gave his name as the aggressor allowing the two goons freedom from jail. The trial of a rough murder on a senior made dewey guilty. He went to jail. A few years later he was given a plea "sign this in return for your freedom" as in a apology but he would not sign it cause he was innocent. He met his wife in jail (visiting room) he achieved his masters and bA. He also had ten amateur fights at light heavy; one if them he played against a NY golden gloves champion.

    Fast forward 26 years: dewey is free and innocent rocking the same haircut he did back in the day. So he goes to hopkins' gym to train, gets his Nevada boxing licence via testing at 52. He enters the ring for his only pro fight and beats Larry hopkins at hw. It was just a thing he had to do see what it would've been like. The shoulda woulda couldas all squashed.

    He received major love from pauli maling give and Oscar came out to watch him train. Dewey also had the nicest thing done for him by Bernard hopkins I.e. coach.

    He speaks to Obama; gets an interview with max, he receives the arthur ashe award for courage presented to him by Kiefer Sutherland. This man is a champ! And he retires undefeated!
