[Cheek busting]

Johnny Tapia > Meldrick too.

This... I was shocked Tapia didn't get a yay.

[BattlingNelson]

I'm as baffled as the rest. Why Taylor? Fitz. Explanation needed.

And picking him above Michalszewski, particularly given the standard Fitz himself puts forth, is just baffling. Fitz????

[IronDanHamza]

Barrera and Holyfield are for damn sho 1st ballot


hope to see McGirt,Eubank and Benn get in..i think Genero gets in this time around aswell

Doubt Genaro does.

But he's already in the WBHOF

[hectari]

So the quota is only 4 a year?

Man this Ballot is deep, its hard to really pick but the guys he chose are all first ballot, this list is deep. Evander and Marco Antonio Barrera are locks off the top for sure.
