The official IBHOF class of 2018 ballot has been revealed:

Morales
Vitali
Hatton
Winky Wright
Calderon

I think it will be 3 of those 5 who get in.

 

Damn

Ok let me reconsider and reduce my list

 

I’d go with Erik Morales, Donald Curry, Sung Kil Moon, Miguel Lora, Gilberto Roman, and Santos Laciar. I wouldn’t have any issue with Yuri Arbachakov, Gilberto Roman, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Winky Wright, Vitali Klitschko, or Michael Moorer getting a spot. I’m not terribly high on Ivan Calderon or Ricky Hatton. This ballot is chalked full of really damn good fighters who fell short of all-time great status.

I'm guessing Vitali makes it, though, on name recognition and heavyweight bias.

 

So if you had to chop it down to three which three?

 

I see your point. But Pazienza? Why not throw Bonecrusher Smith in there.

 

I would love to have Donald get credit finally. I don't know if they will vote him in. There are some good guys in there. Vitali. Eubank. Morales, and I think Morales is a sure thing as it Vitali..

 

Donald Curry
Julian Jackson
Erik Morales
Happy Lora
Winky Wright

 

Wow so many big names

 

Klitchko
Curry
Morales
Vasquez
Moon
I think probably Klitch,Morales,Curry get in

 

You could be right I probably should of said I would put those 3 in.Hatton will get in eventually I just don't think he is a 1st ballot HOFer.

 

The sure things are Vitali and Morales.. So we have 3 to pick in there. Jackson is a strong guy to make it. I mean who has a better knockout footage. Meldrick will get a lot of votes. And McGirt might make it. I don't think he had that great a career, but people liked him. Curry was a guy who was a lock to have a Hall of fame career but Honeyghan and McCallum derailed him.

 

I think Curry over Hatton. His peak was I think a better fighter than Ricky. But Curry sure went down after Lloyd.

 

Nigel Benn
Erick Morales
Vinny Pazienza
Paulie Ayala
Vitali Klitschko
