You're just one of many posters who can't handle differing opinions and criticisms of your arguments. You seem to take it personally. You have to post again and again on one topic, unable to let it go - even bringing it into an unrelated thread. Your sarcasm is rather nauseating and reveals much about your psyche. BTW: Holyfield wasn't at his best in '89. He was growing into the HW divison. And yes, he went life and death with faded Michael Dokes and green Alex Stewart. Witherspoon was a damn fine Heavyweight.
To be honest, I have never heard of Errol Spence. I don't keep up with boxing much these days. Does Spence resemble Curry style wise?
Witherspoon is borderline in my opinion. I was assuming some guys like Toney, Witherspoon, Calzaghe, etc. were locks and didn't include them.
Yeah but was it just circumstance? Great fighters in other countries back then just didn't fight out of their home regions much. Lazlo Papp beat German journeymen for 7 years as a pro, but was elected to the IBHOF on "what if... and his amateur achievement. I would argue that if Lomachenko retires tomorrow he belongs in the hall.
Is Julian Jackson not in yet? I don't see his name listed on the list of inductees in the IBHoF website. If not, he gets my vote.
Laslo Papp had the Olympics to back himself up. Peralta was good, but not more deserving than a two division champ who had an all time great fight to win a title (Corrales) or a guy who made like 10 title defenses as the top fighter in his division (Austin).
