by the end of his run he was really starting to become bitter. that said, he's said some profound stuff over the years. he's been right next to the apron for countless HUGE fights. the man is a legend.

he's in his goddamn 80's.

Smart, articulate, unimpeachable honesty - whether it was what people wanted to hear or not - and steeped in boxing history and it's traditions; essentially, everything his detractors aren't.

I have been waiting for this for a couple of years now. Kellerman is so much better with interviews and commentary.
