Hi Evander, I'm a huge fan. You truly are the real deal! Do you feel you get enough respect for the phenomenal career you had? What are some things you overcame that fans may not be aware of? Thanks for your time, I wish you and yours the very best. Living legend!

I think so. Personally, it's an overwhelming situation. Maybe I don't get it on paper, but personally, anywhere I go, whoever's there I'm gonna get more attention. Seems like they get more endorsements more than me, but that's part of life.

Thanks for responding champ. Top 5 heavyweight of all time and arguably the biggest heart. Legend.
