    And thought to myself, if Ezzard Charles gets a drive since we're naming streets after LHW greats , where's Donny Lalonde Avenue? Shouldn't Mike Rossman have a city, nay, state named after him??

    How much you think it bothers Leonards that Duran has a stadium named for him. Is the idol of a nation and in Palmer Park Mayland new kids barely know his name. The attention slave moved to las angeles just to be seen. Pure unloved phony.

    Hagler overshadowed byRocky in Brockton and Louis for Hearns. Vinny Pazienza will probably put up his own statue in Providence. It will be a statue of a giant steroid needle surrounded by fake boobs. And of course to this day hunters here in Ohio use the "Boom Boom Duck" caller when hunting fowl.

    Pittsburgh would have statues on every street corner.

    And my condolences for being in Cincinnati.

    George Foreman has a grill named after him and you can't get any better than that ....... said his bank manager.

    Picture the state of California renamed Mike Rossman so instead of Los Angeles California it was Los Angeles, Mike Rossman

    Doesn't Hagler have a Brockton community college named after him? "I have a degree in the sweet science from Marvelous Marvin Hagler state college and amphitheater".

    The Calzaghe’s, father and son, have a bridge named in their honor in Newbridge, Wales.

    I suspect that any college named after Marvin Hagler would have a stellar Sweet Science Program.
