Does Stallone deserve his IBHOF Induction?

[Russian Crushin]

u guys may think he deserves it, but he aint a real fighter remember that guys, imo only real boxers deserve to be inducted

So trainers cant be in it?

[The Gambler1981]

He is not the first non participant to get in so it is not like he set the precedent, but even if he did I would still be ok with it.

this question needs to be posed to hall of fame fighters. If they're ok with it, fine.

Personally, i dont think he should be in it. I think you have to be involved in the actual sport to get in.

absolutely. he did more for boxing than most fighters. to this day young people watch rocky and get inspired and go straight to the gym after. so many fighters if u ask them why they started boxing and their answer is rocky.

[Drunk Punch]

Totally deserves it. I wonder how people got into boxing cos of a Rocky movie.

Sly was also real, he was a physically real person

You said "u guys may think he deserves it, but he aint a real fighter remember that guys, imo only real boxers deserve to be inducted"

Not all trainers are "real boxers"

blackirish already provided the link there are, "Print and media journalists, publishers, writers, historians, photographers and artists" in the hall of fame.

Stallone was one of the greatest ambassadors of our sport of probably all time if you really think about it.

Rocky was a HUGE deal. Some of the younger people might not grasp just how big Rocky was. He truly inspired thousands of people to pick up gloves. Not many people can say the same.
