        I've got a ****load of pictures meeting Pryor, Ali, Leonard, Frazier, Chuvalo, Basilio etc...but they were before digital cameras so I would have to scan them all which would take forever. Here's a pretty cool picture that I specifically scanned to send to Aaron's wife Frankie who gets pictures from fans all over the world but very few with Aaron and his son Aaron Jr. who is now fighting professionally. That's Aaron Jr. in the foreground as Dad is preparing to spar with Jerome Artis who is on the far left. Note the picture of Furlano taped to the turnbuckle. Pryor had pictures of Furlano posted everywhere in camp as a constant reminder of who he was preparing to fight. Pryor trained in the lobby of the Howard Johnson's hotel in Oakville which is about 20 minutes from Toronto. I cut last class in high school for two weeks to watch Pryor train everyday for free. Because of the set-up I was able to stand level to the ring and watch the action from about 3 feet away.
