2018 boxing hall of fame class. Klitschko, Morales and Dariusz Michalczewski to be enshrined?

I would say yes for Klitschko and Morales, and maybe for Michalczewski.

Others with a good shot are Calderon, Hatton, and Wright.

We missed out on Roy Jones vs Michalczewski. You'd have to favor Jones, but an upset here is possible, and even a good showing by Michalczewski would have boosted is stock a bit.

Regarding the voters for the boxing Hall of fame, most of them are North American based. Typically it is a little harder for an Asian or non UK based European to be enshrined.

I'm not sure who will get in. Below is what the ballot looks like. I do know some of the voters...it can be political.

My five from the below list would be:

Morales
V. Klitschko
Hatton
Michalczewski
Calderon

Arbachakov looks very good on film. A hidden gym for those who never saw him.

The minus against him in the hall of fame voting process are thus.

1 ) He's a fly weight who was based on Japan. He only fought outside of Japan once, and it was in Thailand.
2 ) He only had 24 fights
3 ) He retired at age 31
4 ) His best win, or at least name I'm most familiar with is Kittikasem
5 ) He's been retired since 1997. 20 years have passed.

I doubt he gets in, but as far know the top 5 fighters with the most votes Delete repeated word get in, even if the 5th man only gets 30% of the vote. I sort of wish the boxing hall of fame would have some sort of minimum standard which required at least 50% approval. Did they change the voting rules?

 

Bumped as the vote is December 5th. We shall see.
