    You'd love to go to (i.e.: Boxing related Bucket list kinda venue) that you've never been to is?

    I would have loved to have been around in a different era and seen a fight at Ceasars Palace. Something about that venue just really "got me". You?

    Caesars Palace?

    I live about 40 minutes from Coney Island. Many years ago armed with some old photos I was able to trace the former location of the Athletic Club where Jeffries fought Sharkey. It was located on the site that is now the Coney Island Aquarium.
