I read this interview at the Los Angeles Library.
Even made copies of it on a copy machine.

I could never find it on the net.

Thanks CGM, really appreciate this one.

Alexis lived such a tragic life filled with ups and downs.
Despite all that he remained for as much as he could a gentleman.

He says a lot of things I relate to, especially when he talks about how you can change from one day to another. Often I find myself feeling a certain way about something then the next day I feel different about it and I change. Alexis has always been this way thinking and being 1 way then the next day being the opposite.

Sometimes life just takes you down a certain road you don't want to travel but events lead you there and it takes that to show you that it's not you and it's not want you want.

To this day Alexis interviews IMO are one of the more in depth interviews you can read that take you into the mind of just a human. I'm not even talking about him as a boxer just a human he takes you there to how he felt to what he thought what he did and what turned out to be.

Like Joe Louis, he was used up by his government and held up high when he was ontop of the world then he was let down and hit rock bottom like a rag doll.

Today however in his hometown of Nicaragua there is no other athlete more beloved by his people then he. Alexis has a love & hate relation with his country the hate however came from the country at one point when all he did was love them.
