Have autographs from almost all of the above and many others I can't think of off the top of my head. We have a room in the house called "The Shrine" which has all of our boxing memoribilia. Also have a boxing writers program signed by Ali, Dempsey, Frazier, Patterson, Walcott and Lyle.

P.S. Cooney and Griffith are about the nicest people you could ever meet.
I forgot about all the oldtimers like bassilo and pep...and your right Cooney is one of the nicest guys you could meet...I work with him through F.I.S.T....There is a program for ex fighters and helping them get a job I met Gerry during my dealings with that
