                          most likely Stallone be in the Observer category, which is for journalists, publishers and so on. Budd Schulberg is in the Hall as an "observer' and he wrote "The Harder They Fall" and "On the Waterfront".

                              And, that is HOF worthy?

                                  What a joke with Stallone.

                                  I know he is a boxing fan but **** that guy, he has been talking **** about how boxing is dying and now they give that HGH freak a HOF spot.

                                      I'm a Stalone fan but can't think of any reason why he should be in the IBHOF...?

                                      Good to hear about Tszyu, Tyson and Chavez though.
