The Boxing hall of fame is the easiest hall of fame to get inducted into ...in all of professional sports lol
The fact that a bonafide ATG like Chucho isn't in the HOF is a tragedy. This man beat the best bantamweight ever, in his prime. He beat a slew of other top fighters and on my card is 2-0-1 vs Rose and Herrera.
Donald Trump is in the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame for promoting boxing in New Jersey and gave Jack Johnson a pardon. Probably too divisive a character for the BHOF but deserves a mention and I am NOT a Trumpster. What about Senator John McCain? Although a loser (lol) he promoted boxing safety and organization in the Senate for many years.
Yes, I watched the fight and scored it round by round here with the video link to follow. I also to show no bass gave a very close round to Toney. No one said the scoring i posted was off and I openly offered a debate on any round scored. Even the announcers felt Toney was behind after round 11 rounds. While did win the 12th round Toney it was not a 10-8 round Even if the official result is draw, it's stock up for McCallum given his age. He owned Toney with his jab. And as you might have guess if he owned Toney with his jab, Roy Jones toyed with Toney with even better hand speed with distance shots. If you mix in the Tiberi match robbery ( Tiberi won it by 3 rounds on my card ) and PED's, you can say the Hall of Fame was correct not giving Toney1st time honors.
I don't forget guys like you called the Tiberi fight it the worst robbery ever on another forum and then say the fight was close here! I seen this type of behavior from you before. Remember I ofter to debate you on a round you scored for Toney. I had the punch stats and had ( the vast majority ) of people agreeing with me who also scored the fight who felt Tiberi won that round. Your " scorecards " and double talk . Let me guess the flock of Seagulls is a favorite band of yours? Of course you'll need to know who they are and what song they are famous for to get the joke. I leave that research to you. The title of the song really fits
It's a good thing the hall of fame doesn't use your cards. Sure Chucho Castillo pulled off an upset over Ovaries, going 1-2 in the three fight series, but how it happened deserves mention. An early head butt which caused an ugly cut on Olivares was the reason Chute won. The fight was stopped on cut in the later rounds. Who else did Chucho officially defat to earn the hall of fame? When one losses 17 times and draws twice, I think its an uphill battle to say he should be in the hall of fame, especially with an *** next to his best win in a trilogy he officially lost.
Mendoza, shhhh. You've confused Gerald McClellan and Mike McCallum. McClellan never fought Toney. McCallum is already in hall of fame. Most of all, please don't drag your still-burning passion of hatred for James Toney into threads that have nothing to do with him, there's a good chap.
I have been watching boxing at least 20 years before your were born. Got that Boy George? In fact most of the boxing watch is older than I am. On Klitschko, I correctly predicted he would be the #1 world champion after seeing his amateur performance in 1996 in the Atlanta games ( Were you even alive back then ? ) As you might guessed many thought I was nuts, including seasoned boxing people, but did so with respect only to say years later, wow you were right. This was only perhaps topped when I called out Rhaman to upset Lewis, with the right hand in round five. The perfect bullseye upset. This can be verified from another poster who was on the very old " Honest Howie's " boxing forum. Just a bit about by background. You might be impressed by either call. When you have better research and understanding, you can ping me.
WOW, you are sharp! When can we debate your inability to score a fight and call it both ways on different forums? I think that is a bit worse then mixing up your Mc's which I did. I think Toney is borderline hall of fame person who will eventually get in due to his weight classes and fan base, and so do the people who vote on it. As for a good Chap, that is not James Toney. He's a street thug who pulls guns, used ped's, and IMO will probably end up in prison if he lives long enough. He's also a racists. You kind of guy, eh?
