New Hall of Fame Nominees out

Eventually and I think he deserves it but he won't get in this one.

No. I think this is the biggest lock class since Duran, Pea, and Finito were the first year eligible guys.

I am an advocate of moving the Modern voting line from 1942 to 1960. Let the Old Timers committee handle the guys who are stuck (Jeffra for instance) and let he modern be modern. 42 made sense when the Hall opened. Not so much in 2013.

A lot of the guys from 30's-40's-50's even ones who went into early 60's by the time they would get in how many ppl could understand/appreciate their accomplishments it does seem unfair

It is. Jeffra was in the old Ring Hall. The IBHOF should have inducted all those guys en made at some point. I've been in touch with members of families of old timers like Jeffra who are waiting for the call. Be a shame to see them pass without just due.

Im shocked by some of the returning names that aren't already in there Abrams, Garcia, Hostak, Kingpetch, Marcel, Michalczewski, Ohba, Overlin. Shameful.

Is there anywhere on the site that outlines the voting process? Is there a limit for the number of boxers who can be voted it each session?

Sven Ottke, too. Imagine how epic it would be if Ottke and Calzaghe get inducted at the same time

Ottke is unlikely to ever get in. He's right there with Gustave Roth as far as fighters people wonder how they got on the ballot. Calzaghe is highly likely to go in with Oscar and Tito. That's your class this year.

Agreed. I think it's tough to gauge guys like, for instance, Tiger Jack Fox and Jimmy Carruthers, both of whom I believe should be in the hall of fame. Their records don't tell the whole story, and it's tough for guys like that to get a groundswell of voter support all these years later.

Nice even the IBHOF recognizes that Michalczewski was wrongfully stripped of his titles due
to boxing politics

The Hall of Fame has nothing to do with the bio sheets. I organize those with a committee for the BWAA voters.

I can't hardly believe Masao Obha is not already in also the Prince should be admitted but his entrance walk should be limited due to time restaints

also they should tell Tito he made it lead him to a garage and shoot him like they did to Tommy in goodfellas he is a cheater and a shnitsnap
