    Because it is a Hall of FAME. Stallone's name sells tickets for the weekend that Starling, LaPorte et al do not.

    Yeah but only the contrarian trolls ever use that shite as a justification.it's meant to be for the best and most notable in whatever sport's history.Not for the name to be taken absolutely literally.

    I think you know that though;)

    I think to be fair to the IBHOF, which is not my favourite organization, they limit the amount of 'stars' they put in. Generally it is one big mainstream star a year, with the rest being nods to 'proper' boxing history, with the occasional bizarre decision.
