To know that I will be in the Hall of Fame with the greats of this sport is humbling, but it's also put a smile on my face that isn't coming off anytime soon." "Knowing all the dedication Oscar put into this sport since the first time he stepped through the ropes, I couldn't be happier to see him rightfully honored as a Hall of Famer," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "Despite all the fame and the money accumulated over the years, in his heart, all heever wanted was to prove himself as one of the best. He did, and today's announcement proves that he is one of boxing's all-time greats. Congratulations, Oscar and congratulations to all the members of the Class of 2014."
