As a young man in my life – I will never forget what the late Boxing Historian Al Nelson told me, which was – learn your trade in boxing well and the gifts will come later.

Thank You, David for the outstanding work that you do. I loved the article on Roberto Duran, it was so nice to meet him last year(2006) at the World Boxing Hall of Fame banquet. I will cherish it for ever. I also want to thank you for helping me with the “Gathering of Angels” 39th year celebration Luncheon on August 12, 2007 and for all the support you have given me. keep up the good work your doing a wonderful job in giving everyone who enjoys and loves boxing. The information about boxing with the articles to read, videos to watch,and the trivia questions all in one package is great. This was one busy year for you and the best part is that you now have your own web-site and you were inducted in the California Boxing Hall of Fame.Congratulations! Thank you for all you do for boxing.
