The Garden once considered the mecca of boxing holds the most hallowed position in New York boxing history. With its seating capacity at approximately 20,000 being at Madison Square Garden for a fight is exciting from its sheer size to its historical boxing aura. Boxers consider it is an honor to be fighting at The Garden. A lot of great fighters and some of the greatest fights have been fought there, including Louis vs Walcott, Louis vs Marciano, Ali vs Frazier, Robinson vs Fullmer and Duran vs Buchanan to name a few. Legends were made at The Garden, ghosts of great fighters haunt the arena. A life size statue of Joe Gans, lightweight champion of the world from 1902-1908 is located in the Garden's Club Bar and Grill. A century later boxers still rub Gans's outstretched left fist for good luck before their fights.
