16. With the exception
of Charles "Sonny" Liston, I agree with your list, and could add a hundred more easily. I was making a small joke. I will say that I have found boxers as a group to be the most decent group of people on earth. There are, I recognize, some jerks. Most managers are shits, and almost without exception, promoters are parasites.
