ед Брофи: “I’d like to thank the committee of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and Ring 8, a wonderful group that sponsors the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. I’m so proud to have been born in New York, in the small town of Canastota, where boxing is in our blood. I’m thrilled to be honored today. My name is attached to the International Boxing Hall of Fame as director, but so many different people help out. I only accept this honor on their behalf. Boxing is the greatest sport. Congratulations to all of the inductees. This is the greatest day of my life.”

Арон Дејвис: Хвала, Ринг 8. Boxing is a hard sport. It was much harder in the gym. I saw Герри Куни, Иран Баркли и Роберто Дуран and wanted to do what those guys did and it made me a fighter I was. I’d like to thank my father and Billy Giles, who was my trainer. I’d also like to thank Joe DeGuardia, who managed me later in my career, and thanks to everybody who supported me.”

Денис Рапапорт: “It seems like yesterday when a six or seven year old living in Brooklyn watched a fight between Јаке ЛаМотта и Jim Hairston. This young man was mesmerized. The next month he watchedСугар Раи Робинсон нокаут Роцки Гразиано and that was the start of a love affair that’s lasted 63 године. Бокс, at its best, is poetry in motion. It’s Shapespeare, Picasso, Rembrandt. But it can also be crude. I started in boxing managing three fighters: Ronnie Harris, Герри Куни и Хауард Дејвис. Јр. Because of the creative marketing of our fighters, one reporter called me and my partner, Мајк Џонс, ‘The Gold Dust Twins’ but then the media starting calling us, ‘The Wacko Twins.’ I preferred ‘The Gold Dust Twins.”
(Л-Р – Џек Хирш, Joe DeGuardia and Bob Duffy
Џо ДеГуардиа: It’s a real pleasure, honor and privilege to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. Like many of you here, I live and bleed boxing, which has been a big part of my life. Four months ago, I received the (Ринг 8 at its Holiday awards dinner) Promoter of the Year award. I said then that we are truly a family of boxing; it’s a real brotherhood. I also talked about how boxing tied into lire. In that room – not with us now – was my father who passed away three weeks ago. Because of him, I developed this love of boxing that I’ve carried in life: work hard to do the best you can in life. I’m truly honored to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. In honor of my father and everybody else who loves this sport. I accept on behalf of my father who, Знам, is watching us now.”

Чарлс Мареј: “They called me, ‘The Natural.’ I appreciate this, being honored for my contributions to boxing. Thank you very much.”
 (Л-Р) – Стеве Фархоод, Vilomar Fernandez and Bob Duffy
Виломар Фернандез: “It wasn’t easy fighting guys like Roberto Duran and Алекис Аргуелло. They were the best in the world. I’m thankful for the opportunities to fight them, I’m honored today.”
 (Л-Р) – Хенри Хасцуп, Ренди Гордон, Мелвина Латхан, Bob Duffy and Gerry CooneyРенди Гордон: “Хвала, свако. This amazing event we have every year, I never expected this would happen. My career was born out of the aches of one of boxing’s biggest scandals, the US Championships on ABC, промовише Дон Кинг, and Ring Magazine produced the ratings for the tournament. It turned out the ratings and some of the records were padded and it just about knocked Ring Magazine out of business. Берт Рандолф Шећер hired me to be its Editor In Chief. Радећи заједно, we brought Ring Magazine back from the dead. I burst into tears when Џек Хирш called to tell me I was being inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. This is an absolute dream. Anybody who has ever or will ever be inducted into any hall of fame, nobody can possibly enjoy this more than me. I love boxing with every ounce of my body. My wife and family drive me back into boxing. This is the greatest honor. I can’t get enough of boxing. I’m truly the luckiest man ever placed on this planet.”
