    Asia has dozens of great fighters and champions but only a couple hall of famers


    It didn't help Hamed out that they didn't like his personality and how he walked away at just 28 years old


    If you're not hungry anymore more its best to retire


    Did you see who got inducted the Hall this past june? NASEEM HAMED

        some guys just get in for popularity and name.

        hamed has that and better resume than those guys.

        do you have to get strangled with a purse by an ex stripper you married or what?

              That list minus Hamed, Bowe and Mancini.

              And additionally the 3 listed.

                  The same reason Mancini got in....popularity n exciting fights

                  Ingemar Johansson got in too...darn near everyone who won the lineal heavy title is or will be in the hall


                  I wouldn't have voted either in....they didn't beat enough good fighters


                  I'd rather seen get in....he had exciting fights....fought the best won some n lost some


                  Only fighter he lost to that's not going in the hall is mayorga

                  With wins over quartey, winky wright, Javier castillejo, Raul maquez n yori boy Campos and exciting fights with Tito, dlh, SSM....he deserves it more than bowe and Mancini


                  I have a laundry list of guys who go in ahead of bowe and Mancini

                    Are you talking about Fernando Vargas? IMO I think he's one of those guys that will eventually get in down the line. Add to his accomplishments that he was the youngest fighter ever to win the title at 154. So I think somewhere down the line he will get in, but his known use of steroids might hurt his cause a little though.

                      It may prevent him but what about Mosley then?
