    I hope Gushiken gets in. I'm so happy to see Cocoa Kid up again, i've been gurning about his non-inculsion for years, probably won't make it though. It's a harsh indictment if Marshall doesn't make it...another Elbows McFadden fail I see. Terrible, terrible.

    During Gushiken's career, Harold Lederman proclaimed him the P4P top in the world. If he enjoys any influence with despotic IBHOF Fuhrer Ed Brophy and whoever else makes these decisions, then Yoko will be enshrined.
    If he doesn't this time, he'll get there within the next couple of years
    At the rate they've opened the floodgates and engineered the deluge of nominees and inductees that they have, they've guaranteed that Elbows will shortly enter that roll call through sheer attrition. They're running out of names! (This is going to be a humungous class.)

    You could probably find fighters who are not on the list who are more deserving than anybody who is on the list.

    Chang, Zapata and Marshall have to make it. Is there a limit on how many do?

    Marshall better get in this time. He should've got in at least 15 years ago.

    Is there a way I/we could petition the judges to vote him in?

    I've wondered about this often also, although I would guess there would have to be a pretty decent buffer between judges and public given how strongly some feel about this.

    I think a really, really good well timed article on the front page of ESB is about the best we can do.

    I'm a writer and I'd certainly be willing to write an article on Marshall; but I'd like it to go on as many sites as possible, not just this one.
