One thing is his career was long and productive. His issues didn't cut short his career, like some athletes.

That is another great story Jim. He was an incredible showman and a great fighter, but I have to agree with Novakjr. When you live by the sword, no one should be surprised when you die by the sword. Never good to hear a storied champ go down like that though.

sounds like a scene straight out of scarface, just missing the mountain of coke on the table.

You should release a book, similar to "Glory of Their Times", recounting your stories from the autograph circuit and private signings.

You have some very interesting stories worth sharing.

It might have actually been there, but just in a different room...

I have heard that in Rome , when the Conqueror would return from battle that there was a slave who fanned him as the crowds cheered and it was the duty of the slave to whisper in his ear as a reminder "ALL GLORY IS FLEETING"

There is a great parody of that in History of the World Part I where the conquering general going to meet Caesar is told "remember thou art mortal" to which he replies "Blow it out your @$$."

I read your travelogue to my daughter last night while we were watching the HBO tribute to Camacho during the Berto-Guerrero fight and you had her laughing out loud with your description of the bizarre events.
