    lennox lewis last fight was in june 03 yet he was inducted in 2009. Same reasoning, tyson maybe in the same batch as hearns and chavez

    whichever way , whenever he is elgble, he should be . probably my favorite light welterweight fighter easily. he had numerous wins against stubborn competition. i would have liked to see hatton and himself fight again.

    it can be said that only ATG boxers are inducted in their first year of eligibility.


    Can somebody answer this, why is lennox inducted in 2009 when his last fight was in june 03? He should have been inducted in 2008
