    Put it this way.

    Sullivan had over 200 profesional fights acording to some estimates and only 4 of them were under London prize ring rules.

    He prefered to fight under queensbury rules and only fought under LPR if his opponent held all the aces.

    I would say that makes him the first gloved champion

    I think it will happen.

    Just give people a bit of time.

    Your lists are good and informed, but I do think a couple of names got left off.

    Barbados Joe Walcott should be in.

    Terry McGovern also

    A few flyweights are missing if we gave them the credit of other weight classes.

    One great fighter who never made it into the IBHOF who should have by any fair measure is Jeff Clark.

    You could make a statment by putting him in this hall but it is up to you.

    ok cheers mate i dont think this hall of fame will hold much weight but i might put in Jeff Clark but he would have to be voted in.

    what flyweights are missing in your opinion
