The above photo shows a painting by Chris Guzman, a sports artist who was at the Sears Tower today for the Chicago stop on Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao's promotional tour of America.

Guzman, who is the host of the Bolo Punch Boxing Hour, told me he was inspired to create the painting "As a tribute to Oscar and Manny, because it's not often that two fighters of this caliber lace up the gloves and step in there with one another."

Judging from the buzz at the Sears Tower today, still more than two months out from the fight, De La Hoya-Pacquaio is looking like it could be the most talked-about fight in America since Mike Tyson fought Lennox Lewis.

A picture of Guzman with his painting is below.
