    Nice to see Ross Greenburg in.

    He was a top man during HBOs begging and top years.

    Glad to see a once in a generation fighter Manny Pacquiao finally inducted.

    Also happy to see Michael “Second to” Nunn getting his dues.

    Not sure if I agree with Vinny Pazienza.

    Vinny Paz is a total garbage pick. Israel Vazquez should have been voted in instead.

    Yeah I would have picked Gilberto Roman or Israel Vazquez instead, personally. Pazienza didn’t do enough to get in.

    Gatti has a more legitimate claim than Paz.
    Dope to see Ann there tho. From what I recall, she really did put in the work. Never heard of the other lasses.

    Vinny Paz doesn't deserve this at all. Cheapens the honor. **** them.

    The failure to induct the lighter divisional legends who deserve it proves that most boxing writers don't know **** - they just happen to occupy positions most of the truly knowledgable boxing minds don't and never went for.

    Paz is an awful pick. Perhaps the worst guy to be inducted into the HOF so far honestly.

    Ross Greenburg doesn't belong there. He was partly responsible for the decline of boxing's popularity since 2000. He ruined HBO, refusing to put on some exciting fighters, while showing boring runners like Corey Spinks.

    Referee Kenny Bayless is as dodgy as they come - why was he inducted?

    Michael Nunn is finally in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:aaaaa:

    Congrats officially to Pac, should've been a while ago but he didn't wanna retire

    Pazienza, I kinda get it but....................hey.........I'm just happy Nunn is finally in,

    edit: Congrats to Valdes as well gettin in on the old guy circuit, he was right there in the mix as a champion during what IMO was one of the toughest MW eras ever

    Glad to see Nunn got in. Manny was an obvious.

    Paz??? What a f***king joke!

    Hundreds of guys more deserving than Paz.

    And responsible for it s boom pre 2000.
    HBO Boxing was a bousehold show due to him.As a producer he gace us the best boxing telecasts ever.
