Bennie was a garbage man in Philly and he would get up early to start his route. My group had been out all night partying and we crossed paths. You just get a feeling about a person. Briscoe was a genuine guy. I guess it didn't hurt that we were boxing fans and we were excites to meet him.
Are you kidding? It would have to be Ali, with all that trash talking 24/7. "You missed a spot, sucka'! They told me you could shave, man! Oooh, you cut now, you startin' to bleed... How you gonna work for a boss like that? You actin' juss like an old uncle Tom, another Floyd Patterson... You too ugly to have a wife like that, she should be with someone pretty like me! Oooh, you fadin' fast, she gettin' bored!..."
