I've avoided posting on all of the Chico threads.... but this quote pretty much sums up my feelings.

Then you and Beowulf can sit here and debate with the 106 of us. Seems fair.

I understand what you're saying and actually agree with you. I feel he is a HOFer, maybe not a first ballot HOFer. However, what we are asking is to WAIVE the normal 5 year period and consider him eligible NOW. Doesnt mean he'll get elected; just mean, they will make a decision now if he should be inducted or not. It's been done in other sports before, and yes, there are other fighters who have died before their time and might be considered HOF material, the times are different now. There is no denying that. With media coverage and televised fights, people endear themselves to fighters more so now than they probably did during Paret or Moore's time.
Again, we're (or maybe it is just I) are not saying 'forget the 5 year wait period and vote him in!' What we mean is, 'forget the 5 year eligibility period and make him QUALIFIED for eligibility now.'

He should be eligible for election as soon as five years have elapsed since the end of his fight with Clottey. That is all. Let the electors decide his place when it is time. Those are the rules at this moment in time.


Many people are trying to write this petition to install Chico in the IBHOF without the appropriate ballot (as it is some months until the next IBHOF election).

I love the guy who claimed to be a member of the voting commitee and said Davey Moore and Paret didn't get in and they died in the ring. I guess he didn't know the hall was founded in 1990 and neither are still in. I suspect he was fibbing.
