    Yes I love the Rocky movies but Sylvester Stallone has got to go.

    he probably attracted more fans to the sport than any boxer at that time.

    Rocky did not go in, and Stallone did not go in for his acting, or character. He got in for breathing so much life into boxing, and making some of the best sports movies of all time. He really did a service to boxing, he deserves to be in there 100%.

    This is a special case because he's probably responsible for getting more kids into boxing than any one boxer.
    Please people,this is all wrong.Stallone deserves to be in as a non participant.

    He got a lot of kids into it for sure, and he deserves major props for the Rockies... but this is HALL OF FAME.

    Ali/Tyson (Tyson was a big one) got more people into boxing than the Rocky movies I would say

    Stallone being in the IBHOF is fine.

    Stallone is in the IBHOF in the non-participant section, mainly as a screenwriter. He's not the only writer of boxing fiction to get in the HOF. Budd Schulberg, while being a sportswriter, is largely in the IBHOF because he wrote works of boxing fiction. What do you think made more people like boxing: Rocky or On the Waterfront?

    The IBHOF should remove that POS Jose Suliaman.

    Well he is one of the Top 5 cruiserweights of all time, and had a piece of the heavyweight title. He may get in based on those merits. While he was not a gifted heavyweight, he was one of the best cruiserweights I ever seen.

    CW has a very short history though.

    Haye shouldn't get in unless he does a lot more.

    It does without a doubt, but still cruiser been around since what the 80s I think? CW is also a very entertaining division love that division. I am not a Haye fan at all, he is extremely disrespectful, but I can't sit there and deny how talented he was at CW.
