                          Definitely a well deserved honor for a great fighter. I definitely plan to make a trip to this sports museum next time that I am in PR.

                              An ATG!! I will tear up when Manny and nonito make it in the future. Can't imagine the feeling. Cotto will also follow.

                                  I was just watching that fight. LOL

                                  Good to see him being recognized properly, sad about his health though.

                                      Good post.

                                      But if they actually cared about the man himself, he wouldn't live like he does. This is a statue to the boxer, not the man.
