    Johnson deserves to be inducted just for sparking out that glass-jawed fraud Roid out cold with what was essentially an innocuous little love tap. And that was a Roid who was still on his roids too. But being a certified road warrior and not a roid 'warrior' like the rooster lover from Pensacola is more than enough to warrant his inclusion.

    I scored a bunch of those fights, I didn't think Johnson was robbed in most, but I did feel he was unlucky to get a bunch of the decisions.

    Did you come to about the same reckoning as myself then, probably ~ 50% or thereabouts of his losses he actually deserved the nod in?

    Yeah, if he'd gotten the nod in some that I saw, he'd have a much better standing.

    Although there's no way he beat Sosa.

    Let's not forget that Johnson is at least 30 years older than his given age too

    I mean, even if you wave a magic wand and convert half of those defeats & draws into positive results, he's still in double-digits with the remainder including some clear ones against ordinary competition, and got stopped twice (once in his prime). :sisi1

    I liked Glencoffe well enough, but some of the revisionists get carried away (probably mostly RJJ haters putting him on an undue pedestal because, well..)

    ruiz....showed absolute chin and heart in the fight you provided. He took an absolute peach around round 4/5.

    Fought some big punchers, took names the distance despite being past his sell by date. (Boxrecing)


    Face first style despite limited power.

    not an ATG, proven his mettle, has went the distance with names.

    Il co-sign WAR!

    r.e Johnson we all know deep down he deserves to be in the MMWC HOF. Come on boys

    Chuffed to see the unsung warrior gain entry into these prestigious annals!

    I wonder if Ruiz sometimes wonders, after sacrificing zillions of brain cells, if anybody outside his own family even knows his name or appreciates the guts he showed in his 16 years of yeoman's work...and what he would think if he found out some internet forum lunatic has been ranting about him for ages? :sisi1

    Congrats to Lucas ‘the machine’ Matthysse. A passionate and convincing case has been made despite initial reservations and a co-sign seals his worthiness! He was probably always slightly more out shined by his countryman maidana so let Lucas have his moment

    The road warrior glen johnson. Surprised there has been a bit of debate about his whinging, thus putting his WAR worthiness at risk, but his career speaks for itself. Ko’d Jones, went 12 with froch while ancient, two fights later froch was rag dolling Bute. We could go on. He’s in.

    Ruiz, he enters based on the intangibles of war. Chin, heart, no fear despite his own limitations regarding power, game with punchers and names, one of those fighters if he had 50% more power? I’m happy to induct based on this and others enthusiasm.

    any complaints? Objections ? Additions?

    if I miss anyone who has been voted in feel free to induct them. We still have some names to work through......
