	WAIL! The CBZ Journal (October 2002)
		Besides the 2002 inductees-Jeff Fenech, Pipino Cuevas, and Reg Gutteridge (Ingemar Johansson did not make the trip due to poor health)-boxing stars including Kid Gavilan, Jose Napoles, Marvin Hagler, Henry Cooper, Nino Benvenuti, Simon Brown, Marlon Starling, Terry Norris, Paulie Ayala, James Leija, and Micky Ward all participated in another great HOF induction weekend.
		While I did hear some disparaging comments made about the inclusion of Ingemar Johansson and Pipino Cuevas among boxing's greats, no one within my earshot questioned the selection of Jeff Fenech.
		While the bouts with Nelson were exciting fights, they only displayed a Fenech in the twilight of his career with only glimpses of the nonstop punching machine and rugged street brawler that tore through everyone in his path.
