    I wish I was this ordinary:

    Lennox Lewis, Undisputed HW Champion, beat every opponent he ever faced.

    Brian Mitchell, Multiple time Champion and went every where to defend his belts, lost only 1 fight.

    Jesus wept, peoples opinions are completely dominated by whether they like the people or not on these forums, no regards to skill and that's why PBF and Calzaghe are hated. Like it, love it or hate it these guys were legends of the sports who will be mentioned on most ATG lists (more Lennox then anyone). God I hate people who "hate" on fighters talent just because they dislike the person (yeah I'm in the wrong place if I wanted any different!).

    Not to mention that Canizales holds the record for most defenses in his weight class.

    Personally, I think they're way too liberal with letting promoters in, especially ones like Honda and current HOFer Mogens Palle who arguably hurt the sport more than they help it.

    If I get that weekend off, I might try driving up to Canastota for the weekend.

    Agreed on the promoters but the fighters going in I believe deserve to be there, sorry I missed Canizales (Mitchell I saw disputed and I'm an admitted Lewis nut hugger).

    I'd put Benn in over Mitchell, but that's just a matter of personal preference. I can see the other argument.

    I think they only started inducting journalists a few years ago. Don't be surprised to see Lampley in there soon too.

    Lewis obviously belongs there.

    Is Hamed in there yet?
