The fighters are all generally happy to be there and really appreciative of the boxing fans who come. Wereinto collecting autographs I could have gathered scores of them without working up a sweat. It's just an incredible time.

Sounds like a real great time. I would love to go one day and meet up with some of the TB loyalists. They should have a boxing library. I know some of the other sport HOF do. I wonder why?
