Flashback: RIP, Champ....(took this in July at Las Vegas)...

There appears to be something missing from the Liston plaque. I wonder what it was, and if someone stole it. I'm not sure, but it might be one of those things that slide in that hold flowers.

The only time i ever got to see Chico fight live on TV.

''Give me one more round'' Goosebumps.

The main reason I took several pics of it was because of the quote...a PERFECT quote for that man's grave...

Yes, great quote. I wonder if those were "Chico's" words, or someone else's. Are Diego and "Sonny" buried in the same cemetery, John? There appears to be something missing from the Liston plaque. I wonder what it was, and if someone stole it. Some people have a morbid cleptomania. Driving through New Mexico this summer, I stumbled upon Fort Sumner, site of Billy "The Kid's" grave. They have "The Kid's" gravesite caged off, since his gravestone has been stolen a couple of times over the years. I believe they were Chico's words in the Mayweather fight...they are not buried at the same cemetary but they are atually on the same street...what is missing is the vase that I took out so I could get a clear photo...it comes out and goes back in very easily...

Definitely love the quote.

time sure does fly fast it seem to me like corrales-castillo 1 was just yesterday...

You didn't watch Corrales vs Casamayor? One of the most controversial endings and Corrales showed a lot of heart as usual : I get an eerie feeling watching this now that he's dead. It's almost like he's asking for another round in life but he gets denied. Wow, man, thanks. That was great. I'm not sure I saw that fight. I think I would remember it, but my memory just isn't what it used to be. I get a similar feeling. Normally I would've been glad to see Casamayor get the win, and felt bad for Corrales because of his heart. Now that "Chico's" gone, and seeing his tombstone, that footage is even more poignant.

I never even got to see Chico fight live, but he's still one of my favorite fighters. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

nice on one liston's as well. For some reason it's the only gravestone quote I can even vaguely remember. Maybe because its so simple. I've seen it mentioned in a couple of sources over the years. The line seems to make a subtle but memorable impact on people. Very interesting to actually see it after having read about it more than once.

Chico's heart in my mind was unparalleled. Rest well champ.

his fights were nothing short of amazing god rest soul what man,what a fighter

Gotta say, it really sucks that Diego passed so young. That guy entertained me so much when he was fighting, what a man. Thanks for sharing the photo, although it's pretty sad, it's still nice to see
