    You should really try to get to the Hall of Fame Inductions. Ive been one time. When it first opened, or maybe the second year it was open, I went there to box on the amtuer card they had for the festival that weekend. I met some very cool guys. I dont remember all of them but I do remember Saddler, Kid Gavilan, Basillio, so many others but I just dont remember them.

    Its a must atleast one time in any boxing fans life, its a great time. And the good thing is that most of the boxers are so willing just to sit and shoot the **** with ya. They are some of the greatest atheletes that I have ever met.

    Rockin'

      3. pac beats morales and barrera again he should be there top 3 the very least.
      bro...

      1. yeah did not see but EM at the poll, IMHO i think the roster is a full list already and i think EM has better accomplishment at SFW than the feathers...(EM fans correct me here if I am wrong)

      2. ???

      3. PAC beat morales at SFW and PAC only fought 4 fights at FW, maybe on my list i could include him in my top 10 FWs ...

        I actually never even looked at the list when I said "kings". But I now say take McGuigan and Pac off of it and there will be all kings remaining. I strongly believe that Barreras skills are to be held with such honor.

          I've been planning to for years! Unfortunately I always find myself in some other part of the globe each time: the last one, I was in the Philippines.

          Foiled again!
          Was the induction you attended the one when they ushered in Foreman? Was that the same year that they enshrined Benitez? I recall having read somewhere that Benitez went with his mom!

          Anyway, I don't envy ya; I just like to do what you've done. Maybe next year.

          My trip to The Hall is getting to be like that of some minor contender! It's dicey, at best!

              if you also remove MAB on the list as well, I will agree with you that the list only have KINGS!! no question there ...

              but if you retain MAB, there will be a lot more opennings for guys like PAC and even JMM to be part of the list...
