So Vinny gets in but Tarver doesn't? -
I thought Arce had a good chance. Maybe next year.Comment

hall of fame doesn't mean much anymore. pazienza's only meaningful wins are over haugen (2-1).
nunn was #1 middleweight in division's best era but for a very short time. i wouldn't induct him but i'm ok with it.
valdez defeated briscoe and had close loses to monzon. he was the best in his division for 6 months. nothing special either.
the way they are doing this, every champion and good contender would get in (at least in the old timer category eventually).Comment

Nunn had hall of fame talent but not a hall of fame career. Paz has no business being a hall of famer. At this point let’s just let Ricardo Mayorga in if we want to glorify tough guys with limited skills who consistently lost to the best fighters they faced.

No way in hell Nigel Benn shouldn't be in if they're letting some of these guys in.
I get Nunn. He was the guy at 1 point. Probably a top 2 or 3 fighter in the world for a short period of time.
Vinnie Paz was one of the more famous fighters of his time. Hell, there's even a rapper named after him (he's dope, too), so I kinda get it, though I don't think he had a HOF career.
Corrales is a borderline case, but I guess if we've got Gatti in, then we can put the winner of the "greatest fight ever" in
They're scaping the barrel for some of these women.
I support putting women in 100%, but Mary Jo Sanders???
I don't get that one.Comment

Hall of Fame isn't as prestigious as it should be. Only the very few best of each era should make it
