Is anyone else going to the Hall of Fame ceromonies this week?

[Erikk]

who is getting inducted this year? I know Duran is.

Duran, Whitaker & Ricardo Lopez.

They have a night of Middleweights thing Friday night. I hear Duran, Hagler, & Barkley will be there maybe Fullmer & Basilio they where there last year.

Yeah, but it's in Syracuse. That's why I am going to have a nice quiet dinner in Canastota.

I would like to try & meet up with anyone interested.

Send me a PM .

Will you be at the Cocktail Party? Also, I will be having dinner at Graziano's on Saturday night when hopefully everyone else will be in Syracuse for the banquet. A nice quite dinner before the place goes ape sh-- later in the evening. I am palnning to take part in a photo shoot with fellow IBRO (International Boxing Research Org.) members at the memorabilia show in the HS at around 12:30 ON sAT.

No I did not go to cocktail party last year, I have heard it not worth it cause its only an hour. Would you recommend it?

We plan on headin to a buddies house to watch the Cotto vs Judah PPV Saturday.
We will be at HOF grounds everyday & have tix to the middleweight thing Friday night. I also plan on goin to the memorabilia show at the H.S.

When at Grazis we are usually around the far right end of the bar if your facing it.

I highly recommend the Cocktail party. You can get good pics and great conversation and also, if you go to the top floor, your pick of good food. One issue is that Hagler and Frazier do not make themselves avaialble to the attendees. They go to the Choral section in the top which is roped off. They are not at all fan friendly when it comes to conversation or photos. That's the only dissapointment I have ever experienced at the Hall. Fortunatley, Hagler lives up the road from me so I get to talk with him in town like anyone else and he is very friendly. The big thing that is missing this year is a venue of fights.

I've never had a problem approaching Hagler. Frazier, however, is the only guy in my 12 or so yrs or going to the IBHOF induction weekend that charged for an autograph. They didn't do fights at last yrs induction. They did a night with the 76 olympic team. The fight cards seemed to be just so so and maybe that's why they don't do them. Anyone else remember when the fights were free?

I forgot the HOF thing was this weekend. I fugured Pernell would be at MSG to support Zab, but I doubt he'll be there, since he's getting inducted.

It'd be cool if they could get Duran, Whitaker and Finito down to MSG and they could introduce them before the main event.
