  • Why isn't Curry in HOF?

    Really, does anybody know?!? An undisputed ww champion who did lose a few big bouts, but still dominated the division for quite some time and beat guys like Starling, McCrory, La Rocca and Rosi. Also won the lmw title.

    What's up, Benn. Long time no flame war.

    I know that he's currently being nominated. I think he should get in, also.

        He should get in this year he is up for nomanation, its long over due but there is a good chance he wont, as nassem hamed was up last time and he never made it. Also lloyd marshal is not even in yet! but don should be voted in. In his prime he was the best pound for pound fighter in the world by ring magazine and a 2 weight world champion. If he wouldnt of stayed at welter for lloyd h, the contact was on the table to move up and meet hagler in a super fight, what a shame we never got to see that, and i think a prime curry might of upset a old hagler it was 1986 when marvin was only fighting once a year and way past his best

          I agree with you. Only one of three Ring Fighter of the Year who is eligible and not yet inducted into the IBHOF. He should be in.

            The International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, N.Y., is conducting voting for next year's induction class. Among the nominees are Lloyd Marshall, Johnny Bratton, Donald Curry, Danny Lopez, Dave Sands, Freddie Mills and Joey Archer. The annual induction ceremonies are set for June 13, 2010

            I like Marshall and Curry's chances this year.

              Curry was one hell of a fighter for a good stretch. I was 1 year old when he KOed Milton McCrory in 2. Going back and watching his fights and reading about his body of work I can see why people consider him to be a great talent at his best.

                Curry should definitely be in the HoF

                I know people always say this but: Barry McGuigan is in there for ****s sake

                  I'd like to see Marshall and Freddie Mills get in this year but I guess as a Brit I'm biased.

                    We thrashed this one out a few months ago..
                    There was a poll, and I voted that he SHOULD be inducted.. Interestingly, my side LOST and the majority voted that he SHOULDN'T be inducted..
                    It ended up something like 24-18 in favour of the doubters..
