Yea Right ! I look at that picture and I have to remind myself I'm of normal height and was not standing in a hole. The guy looked 9 feet tall ! I found a copy of one of the pictures he signed , hope it comes out. I never kept one of the originals for myself, I was pretty sure I'd do another signing with him but the next time I tried he wanted me to bring the entire WALMART store as a "gift"

Oh and this too, Kid Chocolate's son told me the day after his father died the Cuban government showed up to claim his memorabilia of Boxing Robes, trunks, trophies etc. as "national treasures" for their museum. None of the stuff has been seen since

That's so sad. Do you suppose the pieces were sold or merely taken by officials for themselves?
Here are a few pieces of Chocolate [sorry, bad puns are 2nd nature to me]:
