    Great story! What an experience and memory to keep, especially whilst in the company of your Dad.

    A lot of it is an act with Toney. I say this based on the way he interacted with my son while accommodating a simple photo request.

    Most boxers are decent guys; they have nothing to prove but one of the most decent acts of all must surely have been Max Schmeling paying Joe Louis' hospital bills.

    Being the nicest boxer is a bit like being the tallest dwarf.

    If you want to be a successful boxer, there has to be hardness in your heart somewhere!
