who are your teams, Lyle?

@soul_survivor ... There are more guys on the ballot... but as I mentioned in the piece, I was only going to judge and vote on the guys I'm familiar with. Guys of my era. Doesn't make so much sense to go yes or no on people whom I've not only not seen... but barely heard of. People who are older, or simply better researchers, can determine the fates of those guys. You can vote for as many as 10.

I totally get that, any chance of you voting for Naz at some point? or getting Eubank in there?

Get Naz in the hall of fame.

This is biased and a bit racist. People, specially Latinos, who have so many fights like Laciar, Betulio Gonzalez, also Hamed, should be in the HOF. I donīt care if you fought many " bums " a fight is a fight and those " bums " can be very good but are unknown to the mainstream US media. Look at Randall, if he would have lost vs Chavez, everyone would have said he was a bum but since he won the first fight ( he lost the other two ), all of a sudden he became a good fighter.

I don't see much hope if any for holdovers this year but 2015-16 will see at least 4 or 5 get in because Hector Camacho is the only lock first ballot coming up

Only 3 get in per year in the modern class

I you reread my post here I said 4 or 5 and stated 2 years 2015-16

[violaandme]

the best chance for holdovers is definitely 2015-16 in 2017 won't happen with 2 locks and a maybe coming on as first timers Evander Holyfield, Marco Antonio Barrera, and Antonio Margarito all in 2017 I think Naz is a lock next year and probably 2 more hold overs the best first ballot next year being Julio Cesar Vasquez and possibally 2 more hold overs in 2016 with Hector Camacho being the only lock
