Also, Larry Hazzard, who happens to be a very good friend of mine, was elected. Hazzard was rated as the top referee in the business before he became the New Jersey State Athletic Commissioner, where he stayed for 22 years. He now is one of the top people in the IBF.

Not surprised. Hazzard was as shady as Lee and the whole corrupt organization.

Probably crooked, lost many of his biggest fights, easy to ignore. I've been shouting about him for years, but even amongst the Classic brethren...say, that has a ring to it...even among the Classic brethren, there's not that much enthusiasm for his inclusion.

I knew Bob Lee very well too BUT Hazzard's name has never been in line with anything corrupt. He was rated as the top referee for 3 years in a row before he was appointed the New Jersey State Athletic Commissioner and he stayed their for 22 years.
