I had the honor of meeting Mike at the International Boxing Hall of Fame. I showed him a picture I had taken of him there, which he signed and asked me for a copy, which I provided. He was very gracious to fans with his time. Rest in peace Champ! And thank you for the memories.
the first Toney fight was incredible action from two top class operators. I remember watching it for the first time and feeling like a draw was the only fair outcome. McCallum was so good at everything, and owns the greatest (and most appropriate) boxing nickname of all time. Rest easy "Bodysnatcher"

You truly did Mike's memory and career justice. Among your finest writing IMHO. Thank you, Dan.
