Mohegan Sun has kept 'The Sweet Science' alive in Connecticut by hosting thousands of professional and amateur events, and they've carved out a nice place in the Casino of the Sky to honor the legendary fighters that have called Connecticut home. The first name that brought up an emotional response from me was Willie Pep. My dad and grandpa always spoke about the most famous boxer from Middletown (SO far) that Connecticut has ever seen.

The Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame is free to visit, and from what I can tell it never closes.
