You can see the genuine joy in their facial expressions. While in the ring, boxers are trying to destroy each other. Outside of the ring, they exhibit profound respect and yes, even love for one another.

Congratulations to Ray McCline and the Atlantic City Boxing Hall of Fame for creating a prolific and relevant organization, which is directly assisting to keep the torch lit for great boxing champions and support staff of the sport of boxing.
