My HOF ballots for 2014

[Scott9945]

Thanks for voting for Hamed. If people can get past their bias they'd clearly see that he should have already been in years ago.

I didn't vote for him first or second time I saw him. His impact and accomplishments merit induction.

He's already in - and has been for many years (since 1998).

This is the first time he's ever been on the IBHOF ballot.

Former middleweight and super middleweight champion, Nigel Benn deserves consideration. He had a great career that culminated with him defeating Gerald McClellan in what ring magazine called the greatest super middleweight fight of all time. That fight was brutal and hard to watch, I'd consider putting both fighters in for that fight alone. The aftermath for MClelelan was tragic and also it signaled the end for Benn as an elite fighter who should have hung them up after that fight. In a way, it was the sort of fight that fans dream of but when it actually happens, they regret having got what they wished for. Two warriors and great fighters.

I'm not sure, what you mean by this... do we not agree, that Genaro was inducted in 1998??

Inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame? No. He hasn't been. This is the first time he was on the ballot. Maybe the old World Hall, but that hasn't had a class in years. It's basically defunct and never had brick and mortar. You can see the list of inductees here. He ain't on it:

1998 was his last fight. wasn't even eligible until 2003.

Can't believe he's not already in to be honest, two weight world champ and it's not like Benn didn't travel to the US (KO'd DeWitt & Barkley) or beat a PFP rated US opponent in McClellan.

He really won that second Eubank fight too, Eubank even admitted as much.
