Vito can be described in a couple a' words but the 1 word that does it best is : HEART....

Great fighter but a better person.

A true champion and boxing journeyman 👍❤️

[@normancook965]

Unusual build for a middleweight - relatively narrow yet extremely muscular shoulders, and short arms. As Vito proves - having the heart of a lion can take you far!

What a good or great guy. We love watching him fight in the 70s. I just can't say in words how much respect i have for him. Hell of a athlete. A real warrior ask Hagler. Love just to be in his presence.
