THE CLASSIC HALL OF FAME INAUGURAL INDUCTION: The Light-Heavyeights (Closed - Results In)

Hello.

As per the discussion this week on the forum i'm organising a hall of fame voted for by the forum continuing, here, with the Light-Heavyweights. 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, 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 Light-Heavyweights from the provided list that you believe should be in the inaugural HoF.
2 - The seven Light-Heavyiweghts 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. You are NOT just inducting them as Light-Heavyweights - consider their whole career, pound-for-pound, when voting.
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.

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 11.
