I met him one time. Jackie picked us up and took us down to some hotel type thing. He was very pleasant and almost docile knowing what he did as a profession. Later on that year I fought on team Michigan vs team Leonard at the Palace. Good times and great memories. And Sugar Ray was the boxer of his time, why else would they call him Sugar? …...Rockin'
That's slick. That's how I've always acted. I'm sure you as well. In your gym coming up were you even allowed to speak? If you were talking to someone else my coach would be all over you. He was a very hard man. So many stories of guys coming in the gym with big mouths (even pretty good fighters), leaving after being lectured... after their whipping.
