    Scattered around the country and the world are the grave sites (some neglected) of some of the greatest boxers to ever don gloves and entertain an audience. These are boxers who surely would appreciate a final visitor. In a sense, they live on as long as they are not forgotten. A German proverb tells us, "Nothing is as new as something which has been long forgotten

    This was written before Ali's death so he isnt included but here is his final resting place if anyone's interested

    I didn't know Louis was buried at Arlington. Will look for his grave next time I'm in DC.
