I've heard stories about him that give me pause about his character. I don't know the man so I can't anything for sure lol... imho he ranks the old timers a little too highly, which is a common thing for anyone who wants to seem like they're smarter than the average bear when it comes to boxing. Just like all of a sudden everyone 'knew' that Tyson would self-destruct, wasn't that good to begin with etc... look in old issues of Ring mag and they were singing a different tune in the mid 80's. Teddy Atlas was the only one I can think of who had the real story on Mike and what would eventually become of him.
