Boxing Hall of Fame Weekend in Canastota is a huge treat for any boxing enthusiast, especially with guys like Julio Cesar Chavez, Joe Cortez and Kostya Tszyu being inducted this weekend. But when "Iron " Mike Tyson arrived for his fist casting ceremony on Friday afternoon, it didn't necessarily take a big boxing fan to get excited. Organizers said they had never seen such excitement and so many cameras in the crowd than when Tyson appeared for the traditional Hall of Fame pre-induction ceremony, and the weekend had only just started.

Sylevester Stallone is also expected to take part in Sunday's official induction ceremonies, being inducted for his role in the legendary "Rocky" movies. But Stallone isn't the only boxing movie icon in Canastota this weekend. Micky Ward was meeting fans along with his brother Dicky on Friday afternoon as well. The Massachusetts boxing legends are now famous worldwide after their story was told in the Oscar Nominated movie "the Fighter".

"That's what every kid in Boxing strives to be," says Micky, "the Hall of Fame or to have a movie made about him, and in this case both. It's just so surreal, I'm just so blessed that it's finally happened. And it's funny, I'm living. Usually people pass, then they make movies and the Hall of Fame, and I'm living, and it's just incredible."

Micky says he was honored and excited when he was first told a movie was going to be made about him and his family, but was blown away when Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale helped pull off a movie for the ages.

"I knew it had chances of being a great movie, but I didn't think it would get the awards and the academies that it got at the Oscars. It's surpassed what I thought it would become and I think it's just great. It makes all the crazy hard training and all the wars I went through, it makes it all worth it."
