    Vitali “Dr. Iron Fist” Klitschko, Ronald “Winky” Wright, Erik “El Terrible” Morales, broadcasters Jim Gray and Steve Albert. Current and former ring stars Miguel Cotto, Kelly Pavlik, Robert Guerrero, Jarrett Hurd also dipped their mitts in the plaster of Paris mixture for preservation.

    One day I'd like to see Liston's. Did he really have 15" fists?

    You could dig him up and look based off the bones, but it'd feel pretty disrespectful to do that just for a tale of the tape.

    i think it would be extremely unlikely that they would dig up a fighter to take a plaster casting of his hand for a boxing museum.
