As a practical matter, that event really made my career take off if you will. It turned my life upside down. Then you get guys who hit with rapidity and quickness like Ali and Tyson. Of course you have to have Marciano and Lewis up there too. I don't think there is any question of that.

Well, obviously I think Haseem Named, Sugar Shane Mosely, Felix Trinidad, and some of the Olympians. But the guy I think to keep an eyeball on is Mosely. I fought in the Marines in 1957-58. Won the Nationals in 1960, went to the finals of the Olympic Trials in 1960, and fought professionally my last 2 years of college to have money for my education. But I thought he lost both nights.
