Ernesto Marcel and Joey Archer. Two guys that would box the **** out of half the guys in their divisions already with HOF status. And on a parochial note, I want to see Johnny Famechon and Lionel Rose in there too, because they too could box rings around some of the guys in the IBHOF.
Eddie Perkins is in the HOF, Whats up Asero you are not on your game today been having to correct you left and right today.
I appreciate the correction--pisses me off though its a shame because he was kept out title matches due to racism.
We can name 20 boxers from the list above that had accomplished more than these 20 that is already in the HOF Barry McGuigan Billy Soose Charley Mitchell Curtis Cokes Eugene Criqui Gorilla Jones Harry Harris Harry Lewis Jess Willard Jim Braddock Jimmy Slattery Lew Jenkins Len Harvey Marcel Thil Max Baer Paul Berlenbach Pedro Montanez Rocky Kansas Tom Sharkey Willie Pastrano
Baby Arizmendi was another Great Mexican that never got a shot. Black fighters were not the only ones held back. Also Myung woo Yuh is overdue for induction.
Hard to say maybe Curry but dont quote me on that but he was the first one to come to mind. There are a few others i put on par with him. Myung woo yuh too. Kid Azteca,Cocoa Kid,Santos Laciar were good shout outs too. MIchael Nunn was pretty damn good in his prime too. Jiro Watanabe. Mark johnson isnt eligible until next year he should be a first ballot i think HTH he beats anyone at 112. For the person who didnt think Rosendo Alvarez is worthy i disagree he was a better fighter than Barry Mcguigan and a few others in there.
How about benn and eubank? It's really hard for me to accept that terry norris is there while these two are left out
I think Norris is better than those 2. Although you could make a case for Benn and Eubank but if they get in does that mean you let in Steve Collins? Ernesto Marcel should be in ability wise but not sure if his resume is good enough, although he had some great wins(Arguello stands out). Once they put Mcguigan in they opened the door for a lot of other fighters to get in.
I think people are too hard on mcguigan here. Ok he didnt have a long career but if you re-watch his fights, theres no doubt he was a good fighter. Certainly better at his own weight than some other HOFs at their own weight yet hes the first one to be mentioned when it comes to suggestions of lets say 'weaker' inductees. Just my opinion, im sure lots would disagree
How many fighters already inducted does he have a better resume than? He clearly doesn't deserve to be there.
