I appreciate your vote of confidence, but what I’ve done is not worthy of the Hall of Fame. I would say it’s more on the level of receiving a plaque for contribution to BOXING or something of that nature

I vehemently disagree with you. You have been a world title challenger, world class trainer, boxing magazine columnist, TV analyst, ambassador, patron saint who actually makes efforts to help fallen fighters... that is a unique combination and IMO more respectable than some of the coattail riding managers and publicists who have been inducted.

If the Hall of Fame ignores you it's a shame on the institution.

yeah, I have to say that I agree with you in a certain regard because I mean like you take a publicist or a doctor or a timekeeper? I don’t know what they could do that would be considered Hall of Fame level? I also have no idea on this earth why Marlon Starling is not even on the ballot, let alone not even inducted into the Hall of Fame with his résumé!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you serious, a timekeeper is in the Hall of Fame? I don't even think ring announcers should be in Canastota either, they should not be getting fame and fortune off the fighters. No way on earth Buffer, nice guy, should be ****** rich off the blood sweat tears of the fighters. He didn't/doesn't deserve it. Another one which was irking was Jackie Kallen. Nice woman and all, but she managed one notable top fighter James Toney but their relation ended due to Toney alleging she took too much money. She didn't beat Nunn and everyone else, James Toney made his own career, and would have been great with Mickey Mouse as his manager, she really didn't do anything but get lucky. Not Hall of Fame credentials. So if people like this get in HOF, so should John Scully.

This was such an inspiring read. John Scully’s story really captures the dedication and resilience that define Hartford’s sports community. It’s amazing how The Ice Never Melts highlights not just his achievements on the ice, but also the impact he’s had off it — mentoring younger players and giving back to local programs. Stories like this remind us why local legends matter so much to a city’s identity.Like him, my APK is also for legends to try Fr Legends
