My Take
I have a soft spot for Brahim Asloum because he proved that size means nothing when the heart is huge. Fighting at light flyweight, the lightest division there is, this man from Bourgoin-Jallieu won Olympic gold in Sydney in 2000, France's first boxing gold in 64 years. Then he did the harder thing and turned pro, climbing all the way to the WBA world title. The brutal grind of making weight at that level, and still reaching the summit twice, speaks of a discipline most people never know. To me he is the little man who flipped a heavy slice of history on its head.
