The Boxing Examinator made its way to the International Boxing Hall of Fame last weekend and covered this wonderful event where Mike Tyson, Sylvester Stallone, Julio Cesar Chavez, Kostya Tszyu, Joe Cortez, and Ignacio Beristain were inducted as the class of 2011.
As we walked through the festivities, we had a chance to speak briefly with all of the inductees and, without a doubt, they were all in agreement on one issue: Manny Pacquiao is the best fighter around and is a credit to the profession.
To Tyson: Is Manny Pacquiao the pound for pound best? "Yeah."
To Stallone: Isn't Manny Pacquiao a credit to the sport? "Sure."
To Tzsyu: What do you think of 'Sometimes When We Touch' by Manny Pacquiao? "I'm sure it's good."
To Chavez: Why won't Floyd Mayweather fight Manny Pacquiao? Chavez just shrugged his shoulders.
To Cortez: What's it like to be so close to Manny Pacquiao? "It's just part of my job."
The Boxing Examinator did not get a chance to question Ignacio Beristain, but he likely would've agreed with the other legendary fighters: Manny Pacquiao is the best!
We can't wait to get back to the Hall of Fame next year to cover this wonderful event!
