It's a shame.

No disrespect to the writers, promoters and announcers, because they do their job, but I think they're inducting too much of them. I mean, only half of the inductees this year are fighters. I think it's been like that for the past few years, as well.

What other great/very good fighter hasnt been inducted?

Its about time Lopez got in. To many names not nearly as deserving got in before him and that is a shame.

He was a better fighter and had a better career than Barry McGuigan. It is about time Cosell got in as well. He covered the sport on a major league level that hasn't been see since he quit doing boxing after the Holmes-Cobb fight.

It is also a crime that it took Chang so long to get in. Arguably the greatest 108 pounder of all time

Marshall getting in is awesome. I have no beef with the three moderns who went in. Best induction class in a while IMO.
