    Proud Moment as a Boxing Fan....

    So I got to meet Tommy and Ronald Hearns at a ****tail party (Pictures coming soon) at the boxing hall of fame the other night and Hank Kaplan was there. Really cool guy, we talked a bit about great lightweights and he named 2 that I had never heard of that he claimed would have beaten Roberto Duran.

    Then we talked about some guys that I was more familiar with like Billy Petrolle, Jackie Berg, Tony Canzoneri etc. Then we discussed various portions of Henry Armstrongs career and he stops me and says....."You really know your stuff don't you?"

    I was at a loss for words. I may have even blushed. I am sad to say that I am such a nerd about this sport that I walked with a little extra swagger in my stepf the the rest of the night.

      Yup. Nice enough guy. Though his speech is slurred I don't think his mind has dulled at all.
