    Just discovered that Cocoa Kid has finally been inducted into the HOF!

    Should have been in the title of the article instead of Too Sharp! I guess that will teach me for not reading articles.

    Finally justice has been served and Cocoa Kid has been inducted into the HOF. It's been a long long long time coming.

    Perhaps Henry Hascup passed on my contest winning thread and that was their main influence

    Now all that's left to be rightfully inducted from the Black Murderer's Row is Eddie Booker and Bert Lytell, I think. Any others left to be inducted other than those two?

    Along with Pone Kingpetch, Tiger Jones and the rest of the deserving people waiting.

    Don't have a problem with Mark Too Sharp making it in.

    He has a case. Its not open a shut. But I think he deserved it.

              I have no clue sir....Maybe because he didn't win a title. I don't know...He might have been ducked by SRR...I read SRR left the arena when he found out Kid was his opponent. As a late minute replacement.

              He should have been inducted ages ago...So should have Eddie Booker. and the others that were named...

                I do. But that's not what I meant.

                I meant Cocoa Kid should have been in the title of the article, instead of Too Sharp.

                Then I would have known.

                As Cocoa Kid is obviously a more deserving HOF candiate than Too Sharp Johnson.

                  A lot of people have been pushing to get Cocoa Kid inducted in the last few years. Perhaps that's why.

                  And I don't think Robinson left the arena but I think he was talked about being a replacment for one of his opponents and he didn't want to fight him.

                  He actually dropped Robinson in sparring, which has been confirmed.

                    I'm a little confused to his record. Boxrec and Wiki defer.
                    Wiki
                    Total fights 208
                    Wins 156
                    Wins by KO 84
                    Losses 44
                    Draws 8
                    Box Rec
                    won 189 (KO 110) + lost 46 (KO 9) + drawn 12 = 249

                    Any idea which one's correct?
