    One Day these may be inducted but up to now none have been, I feel all these fighters are worthy to be inducted to the International Hall Of Fame

    .Sumbu Kalambay
    .Jimmy Young
    .Ceferino Garcia
    .Julian Jackson
    .Sung-Kil Moon
    .Elmer Ray
    .Jung Koo Chang
    .Chong-Pal Park
    .Naseem Hamed
    .Michael Nunn(One day if he is ever released from prison, and they look past his drug and prison past etc, soley for his Boxing accomplishments he should be in the HOF)

    Now there are many more who are probaly worthy of place in the HOF. I feel these fighters are should be in the HOF, or at least considered.......

    (Here are some of the names that nearly made my list to go to the HOF, or popped into my head)
    .Bennie Briscoe
    .Earnie Shavers
    .Nigel Benn(May be in the HOF, but the circumstances of his best win against Gerald McClellan, may stop him from getting in, due to his rough house tactis in the fight)
    .Rex Layne

    Lots more were on my maybe list or popped into my head , but just to name a few.

    There are also a good few Asian fighters around who have a case to be in the HOF. But due to them fighting at low weights, and not being known in the USA, hurts there leagcy....

    Danny "Little Red" Lopez?

        Lloyd Marshall should be inducted. From what I've heard he might get in this year.

          As the thread starter pointed out what as barry m or wilard done? bobby was a 2 weight world champion, makeing 3 defences of his lightheavyweight title, 3 defences of the cruserweight title, he never avoided no one and had a big fan base which the hall of fame seem to take into acount these days

            Neither McGuigan nor Willard have done jack**** to be in the HOF in my opinion. Hall of fames should be reserved for the best of the best. I don't think those guys should be in based on their accomplishments, nor should Czyz.

            Im a big Vinny Paz fan, but does he belong in the hall too? He was a two division champ, very popular and has a great story. That said, no way he belongs in there either.

            I think the IBHOF has to shorten its leash on who it lets in. Opening the doors to McGuigan, Johannson and others is and was a mistake in my opinion. It needs to come up with some sort of criteria for induction, which at this point is does not have.

              bobby Czyz is not a hall of fame fighter. Never did he ever defeat a HOF type fighter, and he was destroyed by Charles Williams, mustafa hamsho and David Izeqwire.
