What I thought I made clear was the fact that seeing an,
old, sick, dying (yes, dying) Coleman Hawkins was NOT my cup of tea, I would
much rather live with my memories of this GIANT among Giants.
Sugar Ray Leonard was a great fighter, but if I could turn
back the clock and NOT witness his "comeback" fight at 40 something, I would
do so.
I am happy as hell that I never saw Hawk as was described in an
earlier post,
or, to reiterate, I would still be crying!!!
Best
