    Dunno, I'm just going by what LP said....:huh

    Is it 3 or 1 from each of "old timers", "modern" and "pioneer" or whatever the categories are called?

    Maybe only 1 first time nominee can be inducted? Not sure.

    Any case Tyson should be in before Chavez.

    Loads get inducted every year. Chang got in this year :happy

    Chavez is a top 35 ATG

    Tyson a top ten HW

    I personally wouldn't induct Tszyu, but then again I am a fascist when it comes to bestowing a fighter with the 'great' tag :good

    I'm split on Tszyu.... can see arguments either way.

    It's a bit of a contradiction, is it the Hall of Fame as in great fighters only, or Hall of Fame as in those that made the biggest contribution to boxing, or simply the biggest names - meaning it might as well be called the Hall of Very Good.

    Given that they've inducted the likes of Jose Sillyman I'd definitely assume it's basically a ''if you face fits you're in'' type thing.

    If they exclude Vitali Klitschko down the line there's some hope :D

    Yep, thats how I see it. He doesn't deserve the title of "great" IMHO but given the criteria of HOF then he deserves to get inducted eventually.

    I can see Tyson and Chavez getting in with ease, not sure about Tzyu.
