Well, I got finished a little while ago with the funeral....it was my honor to be one of these 6 men who carried the champ the last few yards from the hearse to his final resting place, I will never forget that. I will not however forget that the boxing community well very much underrepresented. Myself and Marlon Starling were the only two pro fighters that came to the funeral today and the only other boxing people there today were two former local amateurs from here in Hartford. Bob Yalen came to the wake last night. Where were all the New York Boxing People, though??? Where was Bert Sugar, Al Certo, and Mex Kellerman, etc etc etc. All the former champions that live within driving distance from here??
