Gasper Ortega: “I’m very honored to have people come out to honor me. It’s truly a pleasure to be here. I want fans to know how much I appreciate their support. 現在, I feel like a champion; I’m on top of the world.”
斯坦·霍夫曼: “A lot of things have been said about me in boxing and I’m grateful for the success I’ve had in boxing. I wish I had 200 friends but the problem is I [probably have a 1000, so I can’t name them all today. This is special because I’m going into the Hall of Fame the same year as my godson, 羅恩·卡茨, who was the best matchmaker. He’s terrific. Boxing has been good to me.”

I’ve had the pleasure to work for some great promoters, to say I’ve world for some of the giants of this industry is an understatement.

道格·德威特: “I could have done better in the Tommy Hearns fight. Took Robbie Simms too lightly but I won the rematch. I was No. 3 (在世界上) 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 幾年前. I had some good teachers. 我有一個很好的職業生涯, 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.”

鮑比·巴特爾斯: Dick Tiger wanted me to go to Africa with him but I said I couldn’t. I wish I had gone with him. When I was in Stillman’s Gym sparring, Gasper helped me a lot. He’s a beautiful man. I want to congratulate all the inductees. It’s great to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. It’s been a long road from the gym, through Golden Gloves, becoming a judge, and then Ring 8 president for nine years. This is the icing on the cake.”
亞歷克斯·拉莫斯: 第一, I want to thank the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and everybody here from the bottom of my heart. I want to thank Shelly Finkel, who did so much for me, and all the people who trained me. I was my own problem. I had a brain injury but it’s great to be alive.”

I’m a beneficiary for all the fighters who gave me a chance to be a small part of their careers. 這是一個偉大的榮譽, probably the only one I’ll ever get. It’s been a wonderful life in boxing the past 50 年。”
