    Not a great class. De la Hoya, who I think is a trifle over rated is the top guy. Other big name modern fighters include Felix Trinidad, and Joe Calzaghe. I am OK with these picks, though likely would not have voted for Trinidad so soon.

    Past fighters that made it to boxing's liberal hall of fame were George Chaney, Charles Ledoux, Mike O'Dowd made the cut. Do they all deserve it?

    Tom Allen is the lone honoree in the pioneer category.

    The Hall of Fame's 25th class also includes promoter Barry Hearn, referees Richard Steele and Eugene Corri, journalist Graham Houston and veteran Sports Illustrated photographer Neil Leifer in the non-participant and observer categories.
