Tyson, Chavez, Tszyu and Sly Stallone to be inducted into the HOF

Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez Snr, Kostya Tszyu and Sylvester Stallone will all in inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in June at Canastoa, New York.

Nacho Berestein and Joe Cortez will also be inducted.

Prince Naseem Hammed once again missed out.

 

prince naseem should be in there deffinitly over godaym stallone , did u mean to write chavez jr :S ?

 

Stallone? Does that mean Rocky was a documentary?

 

Why not Thomas Hearns ? I'm he was up for the first time this year too ? Not fought again has he ?

Just checked, last fight was Feb 2006 so is it 5 years at time of induction or 5 years at the time of voting ????

 

Prince Naseem should never be inducted.

 

This

 

Must me time of voting mate, Hearns is a cert to get in at first go.

 

To be fair it's the hall of FAME not the hall of boxing achievement. The rocky films and the rocky character inspired a lot of people to get involved in the sport.

 

I wold have thought he'd have been a 'lock-in' mate and i'm sure that BN said he'd be available in 2011 back last year. Surely they'd have known

 

:good

 

It's the time of voting I'm almost 100% sure on that maybe 96%. But knowing that hearns he'll get inducted next time and then decided one more fight just to wind up the judges for a laugh a four rounder against a no hoper or something.

 

He still wants to fight now mate

 

i thought it was they they eligable to be voted for 5 years after they retired

 

Its good to see Stallone on there. Created the greatest Fictional Boxer of all time which has probably inspired more fighters than any actual fighter bar Ali

 

For what it's worth i think Naz definitely deserves to be in the HOF. Doesn't really matter anyway, it's all political and subjective. Just what being hall of fame worthy is these days, i don't really know.
