    Hello.

    As per the discussion this monthon the forum i'm organising a hall of fame voted for by the forum and continuing, here, with all other weight classes, the weight classes other than the Classic 8 OR fighters who have been spread over multiple weight-classes in their careers who we have not previously voted on. If you have any general points to make about the process or think changes are needed, please don't post them in this thread, but rather the one linked below.

    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/the-classic-bn24-hall-of-fame-a-chat.692777/

    This is for any and all discussion surrounding technical issues relating to the process. In this thread, the discussion is encouraged but should surround only the seven fighters to be inducted into the inaugural Classic Hall of Fame

    Please read the rules before posting.

    1 - You will nominate 7 fighters from the provided list that you believe should be in the inaugural HoF.
    2 - The seven fighters most often named will be inducted.
    3 - In the case of a tie, I'll call upon you all to vote again to settle the issue.
    4 - You are voting on the ENTIRE career of the fighters to hand.
    5 - Fighters must be retired on or before December 31st 1999 to be considered for the HoF.
    6 - You can alter your list right up until the closing date by editing the post with your list in it.
    7 - NEW - if you feel a fighter who you want to vote into the HoF is not present on the list and should be, please send me a private message. This is only for fighters you want to vote into the Hall of Fame NOT fighters you think should be on the longlist.

    Thank you for participating. It is your Hall of Fame so please do consider your votes carefully and take your time. The thread will be closed to new votes on October 20.

    How tf I am the only soul to have included Locche.

    He's arguably number three here IMO, after Benitez and Gomez.
