Don't disrespect Ann Wolfe, Lucia Rijker, Christy Martin, Holly Holm, and Regina Hamlich by leaving them off the list. Legends, every one of them.

Why are they legends no one cares about women's boxing if we're keeping it 100.

Those ladies, especially Christy Martin, put on hella entertaining fights for many years. If you didn't care you missed out.

I didn't say I didn't care but generally speaking people really don't care, I enjoy the occasional women's fight Serrano being my current Favourite but they're rarely good and lack any real ability and the divisions have no depth whatsoever.

They're far better in MMA where they're able to show off a variety of differing skills and have far more entertaining fights.

Fair point. All of them made significant contributions to the sport as well.

James Toney and Roy Jones tested positive for steroids. People forget

Voters didn't forget. Toney didn't make it in last year, with those who didn't vote for him citing his two positive tests as a tiebreaker of sorts amidst a loaded ballot. Jones' one positive test was attributed to Ripped Fuel. The irony in the story is that the news was leaked by Richard Hall, who not only also tested positive but did so at nearly 2x higher the amount. Jones was subjected to random pre-fight testing for his next three fights, with the results reported back to Indiana (where he initially tested positive).

Roy did not test positive for steroids.

He tested positive for Ripped Fuel, a supplement you can buy at GNC

In todays "Understatement of the Day":

This would be a great year to plan a road trip for induction... can't be a weekend. To many names.

Introduction month?

I know Toney had the positive test held against him but it still seems ass backwards that him and Cotto aren’t first ballot hall of famers but Arturo Gatti was.

You believe everything you read huh lol of course fighters are gonna cover up what they take with other “supplements” . Roy jones moved from super middleweight to heavyweight to win a belt and im guessing you probably also think he put all that muscle mass “naturally”
