    Roy Jones, Jr.
    Pernell Whitaker
    Bernard Hopkins
    Buddy McGirt

    I saw the first Jones/Hopkins fight at RFK Stadium in Wash. DC.
    I saw Whitaker/McGirt II at the Scope in Norfolk, VA

    Both fights were boring to be honest. Of course Pettway/Brown made up for that later.

    Whatever happened to pro boxing in Philly? Seems like Philly fell off the boxing map both in terms of holding big-time fights and producing world-class talent. I can only think of a handful of big names to come out of Philly in the past 25 years (Danny Garcia, Bryant Jennings, Zahir Raheem, David Reid, Tevin Farmer...anyone else?)

    Wladimir Klitschko, David Tua, Zab Judah, Shannon Briggs and Tomasz Adamek are probably the 5 biggest names I've seen live.

    Peltz also promoted may cards at the Spectrum.

    The Spectrum was used in the movie Rocky.
