Doug Dewitt: “I could have done better in the Tommy Hearns fight. Took Robbie Simms too lightly but I won the rematch. I was No. 3 (дар ҷаҳон) and I was going to fight Marvin Hagler, who was world champion when there was only one. Boxing is a tough business. I’m not walking around like I used to 20 соли гузашта. I had some good teachers. Ман буд, касб хуб, I wouldn’t call it great. Thank you very much.”

Renaldo Snipes: “I have a lot of friends. I had a lot of enemies but now they’re friends. You have to know how to get along with everybody even though you had to fight some in the ring. You can’t go into the ring without freaking killer instinct. I’d like to thank everybody who supported me. I took what I learned in boxing and took it into the business world.”

I want to congratulate all the inductees. It’s great to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.
