Tito has earned his spot in the IBHOF, but another Puerto Rican 3 division world champ that is past due to be in the IBHOF is Wilfredo Vazquez Sr.....Tito had 20 world title fights & Vazquez Sr had 21 & for Vazquez Sr ONLY 1 of those world title fights was in Puerto Rico..He was a true road warrior!!

[QUOTE=Roman Moreno;11879178]He is a HOF'er for sure. Whether he is first ballot it depends. Who is in the ballot with him. Only 3 can be voted in.
Oscar will be on the ballot too. We have to see who else would be in int.
I would vote for Tito before I vote for Oscar though. But, I might be in the minority with that one when it comes to boxing scribes who vote for it.Comment

Definitely will get in some day but this article is misleading A's usual. He is just letting us know He's eligible, I don't want it to be a bummer for him if he doesn't get in at the moment so I feel where he's coming from. If it happens it happens. I don't know the odds. Do a lot of fighters get voted in early?Comment

I would vote for Trinidad before Oscar also, he deserves it more as he fought all comers, whereas Oscar's brains trust (yes he also had one) carefully picked and chose his opponents to give him an edge-ike Mayweather.
Also I like Trinidad but don't like Oscar, although he deserves to get in also.Comment

Well deserved place in boxing history for Felix. He can rest easy knowing his legacy is secured...Comment

I hope Tito does. I'm saving up already because I'm going whenever he gets inducted. Oscar? I don't care for. I don't even want him to be inducted the same time as Tito.Comment

Dont you have to be retired for 5 years to be eligible? If so, Oscar doesnt hit 5 years until December 2013 which will not be in time for 2013 induction but should be good for 2014...am I right? or is there some kind of calendar year rule that makes him eligible?Comment
