    Carl Froch is a lock clearly.

    Jesus christ could you imagine how much more insufferable he would be if that happened.

    Tarver is not even close to HoF

    I get the feeling it’s likely going to be Hatton, Bradley, Froch, Martinez, Kessler.

    Personally I would have Gilberto Roman, Dariusz Michalcewski, Miguel Lora, Santos Laciar, Meldrick Taylor inducted. They’re long overdue.

    Have to go:

    Sergio Martinez
    Carl Froch
    Ricky Hatton
    Genaro Hernandez
    Chris Eubank

    What will always hurt Eubank and Benn is them never fighting Roy Jones, James Toney, or Bernard Hopkins.

    I would have thought Sergio's clock was reset by coming back and being an active fighter over the past couple years. Surprised to see him on the ballot. I'll have to think about my five, but personally, I'd love to see Lora make it.

    Tarver was a very good amateur and started his professional career late. He got a bad rep because of the PEDs and for beating a fan favorite "Jones" imho. Great fighter and I wouldn't mind having him in the 3 picked. Who would you choose?

    IBHOF are incredibly biased against non American fighters and especially lower weight class (below 126) fighters.

    Also how comes fighters pre 1980 are only selected once per year? doesn't help when they are many ATG's who have yet to be selected in the IBHOF who fought pre 1980

    Ridiculous to have removed Yuri Arbachakov because he is Russian.

    For me :
    1- Dariusz Michalczewski
    2- Timothy Bradley
    3- Chris John
    4- Ricky Hatton
    5- Vinny Pazienza

    Did they really remove Arbachakov's name? I can still see his name on the link. It would be absolutely despicable of they did just because of his nationality. He's one of my favorite fighters and would really like to see him inducted one day. Beautiful style to watch.
