      You gotta read the article when it comes out for that.

        No, he wished him the best but said he was a backstabber.

          I know some people will say it's **** or whatever, but too often people who follow this game forget about the guys who came before their time and paved the way. And a little appreciation and respect can sometimes be all they need to make their day a little bit brighter.

                Make sure you post the finished article link on here somewhere, so I can read it.
                You know it bud. It's my pleasure.

                My favorite fighter of all time is Aaron Pryor and let me tell you, I nearly **** when I spoke to him on the phone. I called up his office looking for Junior and he picked up.

                I bought a signed poster off his website and could you imagine my shock when he remembered who I was and signed it "Keep up the good journalism?"

                I was beside myself!

                  It's hard because I usually interview only the contemporary fighters making news. I would say of current guys, it'd be Mayweather Jr. All time, probably Frazier.

                  I've never interviewed them but I've spoken with Emmile Griffith, Carlos Ortiz, Tommy Hearns and Aaron Pryor. Emmile Griffith is probably the warmest person I've ever met, a truly wonderful man.

                      Aaron was a beast in his day man, a real intimidating dude.

                      That's an awesome story.

                      And once again, a very sincere thank you for doing what you did when you didn't have to. It put a smile on my face to think that Joe Frazier knows he's my hero, even though he has no idea who I am.
