It's a popularity contest imo,harmless ,but also rather meaningless ,given enough time everyone will be in it.

Gatti lowered the bar IMO

Barry McGuigan lowered the bar before that.

There’s always going to be poor entrants in these things.

It can’t be used as the standard for letting in other unworthy candidates.

[GhostofDempsey]

I would rather have seen Forrest or Casamayor nominated ahead of Corrales. Casamayor beat him two out of three and is an Olympic gold medalist.

[Slugfester]

I sure can't make an argument for half the nominees!

Do you think McGuigan is lower than Gatti?

Do you think McGuigan is lower than Gatti?

No, wouldn’t say so.

Just McGuigan was the “Gatti guy” for a long time.

IBHOF Class of 2024 - Male Fighters elected.

Thoughts?

Modern
Michael Moorer
Ricky Hatton
Diego Corrales
Ivan Calderon

Old Timer
Luis Firpo

All very good fighters, except for Firpo who was average.

BUT no one in this very weak 2024 HOF class is top drawer, kicked major ass in their time and dominated their timeline. Except for the extremely light punching Ivan Calderon who fought in the straw weight division under 105 pounds.

Just wait until the 2025 boxing HOF class. Judging by the 2024 class, if this is the best boxing can do fans can't wait.

Borges is getting in and he's got fired for plagiarism and then for basically making up info to push through a story that turned out to be false.
