        Thomas Hearns has pretty bad character. Someone once posted a story here about how he acted, can't find it though.

        Anyone know?

              I'd chalk it up to him being high.........on coke.

                    Sweet Pea and Holyfield have the worst reps from what Ive seen and heard...in regards to fans, they are not even on the same planet as MUHAMMAD ALI. I remember Ali's wife saying how it could get to be too much sometimes..Ali woild literally miss planes because he hadnt finished signing autographs in an airport and when asked why he would do that he said "These people may never get another chance to meet me"...and you want "fan friendly"???? How about this? A few years ago when Ali lived in Berrien Springs many people are quoted as saying they literally just walked up to his front door and he invited them in. One guy said he knocked on the door and Ali sat on the couch with him and watched some old fight films!
