Top 25 Non-HOF Boxers of All-Time

[asero831]

after finally llyod marshall and red lopez made it to the HOF, it is now time to look for the best fighter that is yet to be inducted in the HOF. To me, it's Chris Eubank

consider only those are are eligible for induction and those that are not in the IBHOF list.

Here is my Top 10 List:
1. Chris Eubank
2. Nigel Benn
3. Naseem Hamed
4. Tiger Jack Fox
5. Young Jack Thompson
6. Hilario Zapata
7. Ernesto Marcel
8. Michael Nunn
9. Jiro Watanabe
10. Myung Woo Yuh


Next 20:
Rosendo Alvarez
Yoko Gushiken
Eddie Perkins
Eddie Booker
Masao Obha
Hiroyuki Ebihara
Ceferino Garcia
Davey Moore
Horacio Accavallo
Peter Kane

Mike O'Dowd
Santos Laciar
Pone Kingpetch
Ray Mancini
Kid Azteca

Julian Jackson
Ken Overlin
Joey Archer
Kid Cocoa
Johnny Famechon


I feel that the above top 20 fighters are more deserving that brian mitchell and barry mcguigan.

Harry Jeffra is a terrible exclusion right now and one of the worst.

I feel that the above top 23 fighters are more deserving that brian mitchell and barry mcguigan.

The only guy missing off the top of my head from that list is Ernesto Marcel. Nominated for the HOF the last two years, just missed out this year, and is already in the WBHOF.

Most of these guys are more deserving than Barry McGuigan though.

[HaglerSteelChin]

Three guys in the WBHOF that should be in the IBHOF are Esteban Dejesus, Jose Luis Ramirez, and Primo Carnera. I don't think Argentine Juan martin Coggi is in either HOF; but he was one of the most solid JR WW in the last 30 years of boxing. As for asian fighters although his career was brief the number of title defenses by Yoko gushiken merit serious consideration and a guy like Cerefino Garcia who was the only pinoy MW champ. I also think atleast two of these three should get in Mancini, Pazmanian MF, or Haugen.

I think the eastern coast snow has given me a TKO? Will see the doctor now

Mckenzie is a very underrated fighter who I would vote for

[Joey Giardello]

Here is my list of fighters who should be in the ibhf

Wilfredo vasquez
Willie Joyce
Primo Carnera
Sumbu Kalambay
Gianfranco Rosi

I used to consider Kalambay and Nunn borderline and still could; they're right there with Curry. I think they deserve to hear a vote, same as Eubank and Benn.

Carnera? That might be the worst idea I've ever heard for the Hall. Not enough quality and too much (rightful) speculation that his big wins were fixed and he was made to look a joke against top guys when it was clearly on the up.

I'm sticking with Jeffra as the biggest miss for right now. World titles in two weight classes, won five of six from Escobar, and was already in the old Ring Hall.
