Former heavyweight title holder Larry Holmes is getting a statue in his eastern Pennsylvania hometown. Organizers held a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday at Scott Park in Easton, about 50 miles north of Philadelphia. The statue will be 9 feet tall and weigh between 600 and 800 pounds. It will stand across the street from the restaurant and office plaza owned by the 60-year-old former champ. The Hall of Fame boxer known as the "Easton Assassin" retired with a record of 69-6, with 44 knockouts. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5388043&campaign=rss&source=BOXINGHeadlines
