Why do people always bring up Sylvester Stallone as an example of why a boxer should be in the HOF? He got in as a non-participant, for writing, just like Budd Schulberg (although Budd did do sports writing too, he's best remembered for writing The Harder They Fall and On the Waterfront, which would make less people want to box than Rocky did).
There are so many fighters better and more deserving than Gatti that fought before him that I'd like to see get in.

Furtermore, as implied by Freedom, this doesn't seem like the INTERNATONAL BHOF as it seems easier for fighters who was regularly on US télévision has an easier path.
Cliff could you weigh in here?
It's like we always hear "well if Barry McGuigan is in, why can't so and so???"
Just because there are some questionable cases, it doesn't mean there should be more.

Hill was in his prime when he fought Dariusz. Virgil had a world title ten years after that fight.

I personally loved Gatti but he doesnt deserve to be in it IMO.
I would not vote him in based on being a warrior and likable guy.
but on the flip side how hallowed and great can the HOF be when you
have a ficticious character like Rocky Balboa aka Sylvester Stallone in
