Cliff’s Notes on The 2010 Hall of Fame Vote

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Last week, fellow BoxingScene scribe Lyle Fitzsimmons offered a full run down of this year’s International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF) ballot, naming all of the fighters along with his own choices. [details]

Sven Ottke.

Good point about Eubank and Benn, they both deserve to be on there more than Ottke.

Sven Ottke.

What is worse is that Lyle Fitzsimmons voted yes for Ottke over fighters like Danny Lopez, Raul Macias, Lloyd Marshall, and Donald Curry. I swear I really question that man knowledge of the sport...

[Heru]

Solid picks, but...

What's your beef with Little Red Lopez, Wilfredo Vazquez, Miguel Lora?

Donald Curry's run at 147 was pretty similar to Pipino Cuevas', but with better wins, so what's your excuse?

Well, I like some blogger description of Lyle... The bard of Mayweather .

To be fair though, IMO, I think Ronnie (pac) and Perez (cotto) are more notorious.

Somewhere out there, George Kimball is twitching uncontrollably over yet another writer casting votes for Jung-Koo Chang and Myung Wuh-Yuh (and he'll be disappointed to know that I voted for them as well, much as I did last year).

You mention that many of Sven Ottke's fights were "excruciatingly dull". And that's very true.

I once described Bernard Hopkins' fights in the same way, "largely excruciatingly dull and foul filled".

Maybe great minds think alike.!

I voted for Lopez so I'm missing your point.

No beef on the others either. Can only pick ten.
