I wish nothing but the best for Iron Mike. He was on the tail end of the era of great heavyweight fighters—Ali, Frazier, Norton, Quarry, etc— that gave us so many thrilling memories. People think of him as kind of a lunkhead, but he says some pretty good stuff sometimes, like “Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the mouth.” Someone asked him what was the best way to become a successful boxer and he said, “While you’re working on being a good boxer, pay more attention to becoming a good person because you’re going to be a person a lot longer than you’re going to be a boxer.”

“He was on the tail end of the era of great heavyweight fighters—Ali, Frazier, Norton, Quarry,”

Norton never gets the credit he deserves.

I still laugh at Keenan Ivory Wayans portrayal of Mike on In Living Color....
