IBHOF 2010 inductees

Surprised he got in at all.I tended to imagine him being one of the constantly overlooked ones for years to come.

 

Danny Lopez = Most exciting TV fighter of all time.

 

Just to let you know, I was on 2 committees, the modern and oldtimers, and I am proud to say that I picked all 6, 3 in each category, that were elected.

Also, Larry Hazzard, who happens to be a very good friend of mine, was elected. Hazzard was rated as the top referee in the business before he became the New Jersey State Athletic Commissioner, where he stayed for 22 years. He now is one of the top people in the IBF.

 

Why not Mills Lane?

 

Either Chang or Yuh were bound to get in eventually I guess. He is the first Korean to make it in correct?

 

Seriously, he should've been in close to 2 decades ago, when Burley got in. What a disgrace. :-(

 

About time Rocky Kansas gets on the votes.

 

Both are locks. chang probably deserves to be inducted before Yuh though.

 

Cant belive after 80 years, former lightweight champion Rocky Kansas is on the votes to get in(Does not mean he make it though.)

The guy gave Benny Leonard 2 great fights(Or so I heard lol) and beat the hard hitter Lew Tendler, for which is he is most rember for. Wins over Dundee, and Mitchell dont hurt his standed.

Now Most guys dont have him in the top 100 lightweights of all time about, because of lack of footage. That and being forgotting.

I relly hope he gets the votes to get into the hall, he earn it, but I dont think he get in.

 

Isn't the article saying that he's been elected though? Unless I'm misreading it.

 

I especially liked seeing Miske in there.

 

I always thought they voted in


1 Modern fighter,
1 old timer,
One non combat
1 barekuck
and 1 out of a few other sections(Managers, trainers, promoters ete.)

 

No, they do more than one of each per year. For instance - Olivares, Sanchez, Patterson, and Tiger are all "modern era", and all class of '91.

 

I'm glad to see Miske finally get in. I'll be finished with a draft of a biography about him within the next couple of months.

 

I can't even express how excited I am to read that. The closest I could come would be - pretty ****ing excited. Please hurry.
