I know some people may say it was his right to refuse to sign, but these athletes have to remember they would be nothing if it wasn't for the fans. Moral: Don't sh*t where you eat. On the flip side Carmen Basilio, Gerry Cooney and Emile Griffith are some of the best guys you'll ever meet.
I actually grew up knowing that guy.

He's one of the nicest guys I've ever known actually, I was at his fight against Michael green. And even though he lost he still signed by book

it said "To my friend" on it and then he signed his name Very classy and nice guy. Always loved to see him, and that was the first fight i was ever taken to

That said, I was also friends with Lionel Butler growing up, I was like 5 lol awesome guy
