    Can anyone explain what the point of a 'Hall of Fame' is?

    It's just recognition for the great careers of some isn't it.
    They don't get paid for it...

    The boxing Hall of Fame is horrible, barely more noteworthy than the WWE's Hall of Fame. They let anyone and everyone in, as long as you had a few exciting fights. Other sports only let the best of the best in, but boxing clearly does not have the same criteria.

    So yes, Benn will get in easily.

    Sure, since it is so terrible to give accolades to the retired greats of a sport?

    Nigel Benn will get into the HOF and I think American fight fans would agree with this. One of, if not, the most exciting British fighter ever.
