You were very lucky to have him. He was a true champ and a gentleman. I will never forget the Thrilla in Manila. I was in elementary grade and we were sent home early so the teachers could watch the fight on tv. It was crazy, my place was like a ghost town. Everybody was glued to the tv. RIP Smokin' Joe.

I've met him a few times and have a picture of him and I standing together.
