Joe also gets my nod as the #1 greatest Heavyweight of All Time.

Such an amazing fighter, and such an amazing human being as well.

His life was over years before mine even began.

But over the years I've been privledged enough to see many of his fights, and watch documentaries and biographical films about him.

Through that, I felt like maybe I got to know who he was. Maybe, just a little.

A true American hero, that man. And an exemplary figure for any man to look up to.

A true great in and out of the ring.
