I think possibly is more appropriate than likely. James was wildly inconsistent. He lost to Drake Thadzi and arguably should have lost to Dave...
Sot getting in is OK by me, but I don’t like the standard of ‘these lesser guys who I don’t think should have gotten in are in, so let’s let other...
If we separate out the 190/200 era, we have to do that for a lot of other divisions. Lightweight settled at 135 pounds I think in 1920. We didn’t...
I think you’re way hung up on nationality = bias as if the WBA bagmen put Stanley Christodoulou and Waldimir Schmidt in, they’re neutral....

Some outstanding choices here.
Victor Emilio isn’t mentioned in this story (although the president of the WBA for much of the corruption reported on here was Fernando Mandry...
Damned skippy: Beat Duran and Benitez back to back! Hagler, Hearns and Leonard wish they could say that!!!! I think it clear in retrospect that...
I don’t think it is overstepping for a commission mandated by the government of a state to oversee a sport insisting on its officials — the ones...

Deleted much of your post so people can hopefully see the last line, which is what I wanted to respond to. There’s a period in the late...
Didn’t he fire Futch after the first fight with RJJ? (Or they split over money issues, something like that?) On the one hand, Eddie’s game plan...
No idea. In a small way, I guess he’s the Pat Lawlor of his generation.
