I met Lewis on a plane ride back from Montreal to NY. He was a Canadian then.

He was nice, mostly quiet, and the trainer talked more than he did. We spoke about trying to get Lewis to eat something else besides fast food hamburgers.

I am sure he graduated to steaks later.

He didn't grow up poor, but his life wasn't too easy either. His father was an abusive drunk who once cut a young Cassius on the leg.

Nino Benvenuti was more or less okay, his father was a fisherman. He had the problem of WWII though.

[SirTomJones]

What about Roy Jones Jr what is his story?

I like the Klit's, but that has to be the gayest picture i've ever seen in my life - apart from a wazzaa photograph, naturally
