    Ring Magazine's Boxing Hall of Fame vs IBHOF

    The Ring magazine established its own Boxing Hall of Fame in 1954 and inducted 168 members (plus eleven others for "Meritorious Service") before it was abandoned after the 1988 inductions.
    Since 1989, 154 members of the old Ring Magazine Hall of Fame have been elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York. The 13 members (plus one other for Meritorious Service) who have yet to be elected to the IBHOF are noted with an asterisk.

    I think Maher should be in the IBHOF, in his time he was one of the most famous sportsmen out there. Gus Lesnevich too, perhaps.
