Some people who love boxing might love Mike Tyson, but people outside of the sport are generally repulsed by him and therefore, repulsed by the sport.

I got to know Sugar Ray but I certainly would not say we were good friends.

I was also in love with the English language.

Sugar Ray Robinson was at the top of the boxing world during the 1950's when it seemed that he would either win or lose the championship about every three or four months.

Sportswriters have changed more than sportswriting.

I wanted to be a sportswriter because I loved sports and I could not hit the curve ball, the jump shot, or the opposing ball carrier.

My top three were Jim Brown, Wilt Chamberlain and Bo Jackson.
