    Nothing earth shattering, just a short vid that I hadn't personally seen before. Not much to say, just to be enjoyed for anyone who hasn't seen it before.

    Great ex champs and contenders gathered at a Friends of the Champ event for Iran Barkley. Great to see them shooting the breeze and laughing together like old buddies who all, at one time or another, tried to punch each other's lights out - Lol. The pro debut 88 Olympic Gold Medalist Mercer is referring to was on the undercard for Barkley vs Duran 1989.

    Yeah, you definitely get that vibe about them. All warriors but still having a good deal in common - able to laugh and talk together even after engaging in some serious wars between them. Awesome to hang out with.

    They became great friends.

    I’ve seen quotes from both of them saying when either get invited to a charity gig, the first thing he does is call the other and they always show up for each other. Gives the charity a two-for-one and raises the event.

    Good guys.
