Ted Sares Dis of LeRoy Neiman in "News"

[gparenteau]

If you're going to opine that LeRoy Neiman, 85, and Americas greatest living artist is not worthy of being in the International Boxing Hall of Fame, the least you can do is spell his name right. LeRoy has contributed to the game and it's documentation for history. The Muhammad Ali Center features a gallery of his work and so named the gallery for Neiman. He has been sought out and referenced in many boxing books and an important one to be published soon. Top tier print and broadcast media seek his comments on games and he is one of the most knowledgeable people in any category - athletes, artists, business people-on the sport. We hope your readers will agree with the International Boxing Hall of Fame and reject your point of view.

Read the article again. It was not a "dis." I even said LeRoy was a great artist, albeit a sports artist and not a boxing one. Get your facts straight if you are going to opine here. I suppose you think Jose Suliman also belongs. The Hall should be for fighters and trainers and others intimatley involved with the fighters....artist no matter how great they are don't belong. But I respect your viewpoint.

You're joking with the "America's greatest living artist" bit, right?
