    They will be announced in June 2021 due to covid-19. Dan Rafael share his picks for 2021, which is a very good class!

    that's a really good class indeed.

    Are they combining 2020 and 2021 classes?

    I agree with all of them except for Bradley over Toney.

    He got absolutely mulched for Bradley over Toney on Twitter.

    I had intended to go in June. I’ll be there next June. I always said I’ll be there when Marquez gets inducted. Unfortunately Mayweather will be there. I’ll probably use the bathroom when he gets up. Hopefully Toney gets in.

    I’m planning on bringing Jofre as a guest too. I’m looking forward to bumping into some posters here too.

    Maybe Rafel is not giving it to Toney on his first try as he was a drug cheat? I would not pick Bradley either. He won't make it. 3-5 will.

    Wlad, Mayweather and Ward are locks. After that its is close between some others.

    Yes. Both announced in June 2021. Each Class gets their own time.

    2020 = A very good class, even by the old time naysayers that don't like Modern boxing.

    Mayweather, Laciar and Klitschko are the three that stand out there.

    I agree with all those pics but I didn’t think that some of them have been retired that long. Don’t you have to be retired for like five years or something ? I don’t really know the rules I guess

    I'm sure this would bring you endless joy, but it does not appear to be the case.

    They will both be inducted in June 2021.

    Dan's ballot shown here is actually for the class of 2021 - not 2020!

    The class of 2020 (Hopkins, Mosley, Marquez) was announce last year. The 2021 class will be announced in early December.

    I don't know why people are focussing on James Toney.
    There are several names on the list that Rafael didn't choose.
    Toney seems to have some sort of cult following these days.

    I'd say it's because he hasn't voted for a guy that is expected to get in. So he said himself that he expects Toney to get in but couldn't vote for him.

    The guys who are expected to get in (by the majority) will be thrown into sharp relief in any ballot they're left off.
