I think he deserves to aswell. Maybe his longevity effects him but he beat some good fighters and also beat some great fighters. He has been retired for a long long time. Do you think he will get inducted eventually? |

The way it goes is that they give you 45 modern names and you can pick up to 10, but they then pick the top 3 vote getters. In the old-timers, they give you 50 names, and you can pick up to 10 but again, they only pick the top 3 vote getters.
Here's the list of names we received last year: 2010 International Boxing Hall of Fame Nominees in the Modern Class: (Last bout no earlier than 1943) The voters can pick up to 10 boxers, But only the top 3 will be Inducted: First Time Nominees 2. Kostya Tszyu 3. Mike Tyson Return Nominees 5. Georgie Abrams 6. Joey Archer 7. Jose Becerra 8. Johnny Bratton 9. Jimmy Carruthers 10. Donald Curry 11. Hiroyuki Ebihara 12. Tommy Farr 13. Tiger Jack Fox 14. Ceferino Garcia 15. Betulio Gonzalez 16. Yoko Gushiken 17. Naseem Hamed 18. Carlos Hernandez 19. Harry Jeffra 20. Rafael Herrera 21. Al Hostak 22. Peter Kane 23. Cocoa Kid 24. Pone Kingpetch 25. Tippy Larkin 26. Santos Laciar 27. Jose Legra 28. Miguel Lora 29. Raul Macias 30. Ernesto Marcel 31. Freddie Mills 32. Rinty Monaghan 33. Masao Ohba 34. Sven Ottke 35. Ken Overlin 36. Gustave Roth 37. Lou Salica 38. Dave Sands 39. Petey Scalzo 40, Samuel Serrano 41. Yoshio Shirai 42. Kid Tunero 43. Wilfredo Vazquez 44. Myung Woo Yuh 45. Hilario Zapata |

I think he deserves induction, I do. Unfortunately, the longer you wait, the less likely you are to receive induction. It's a sad face of how the Hall works nowadays. On the bright side, if Kostya Tszyu is a first-ballot HOFer, literally anything is possible.

Image View Removed. Please Click Here. Neither am I. Though I think he is indeed a good fighter, no way is he a First Ballot HOF'er, IMO. |

It doesn't matter if they are a 1st ballot candidate or a 15th. The committee votes for the best 10, and then the top 3 get in. I have been on both the Modern and Old-Timers Committee for several years now. I didn't think Tszyu deserved to be in the top 3, But he did IMO deserve to be in the top 10, so he got my vote, as did Kingpetch.
