Great dedication to a great champion! I still remember listening to WOL radio when Glen Harris played the song to conclude his talk show on Thursday, September 17, 1981 (day after Hearns fight) and said " The greatest fighter in the world today: Sugar Ray Charles Leonard" ! Thanks for the memories, Ray !
