Brit Forums - British Boxing Hall Of Fame

You start putting those guys in then everybody has a case, I thought we were restricting ourselves to the greats.

 

That must have hurt!!!

You've become a lot more reasonable about Hatton since Pac flattened him!!

 

I have a heart. :good

 

So yes then.

 

Nobody thinkg of Howard Eastman ??? Man I loved that guy :good

 

Him and Funso Banjo were next on my list!

 

Got nothing handed to him throughout his career. Tough ****er.

Anybody know how his brother (Gilbert was it?) is getting on now. Hard to think about what must have been going through his and his families heads around that time. Must be a horrible place to be when that happens

 

Same difference :hey

 

"British Boxing Hall of Fame" should be precisely that...if they aren't British they shouldn't be in....as far as I am aware Finbar was born in Co. Monaghan, Eire and therefore not British

 

I met a guy who was friendly with Robert McCracken and he (McCracken) said Eastman is the laziest boxer he'd ever met in his life.

We'll have inducted a fair few boxers before Eastman gets my vote...

 

Tell that to the Welsh, they get awful funny about stuff like that.....

 

Screw the Welsh :good

 

This is were we are going to have a problem...I was having a bit of a josh saying Honeyghan wasn't eligable, but Eastman was a Guyanan and Banjo a Nigerian (you surely aren't serious BTW)...are we going to include foreign fighters who called Britain home, or are we just going to include native born Britons?

 

Wales is nothing like either New Zealand or Australia, apart from the sheep bothering of course :deal

 

I was most definately joking!!!

I think the easiest way to do it is to just say either a boxer has to be born in Britain or to have fought for a British title.
