    Learn to count, you fool! ;)

    Anyone on the long list is a superb fighter and deserves consideration. Oba will have his fans.

    Very tough on the one who missed out like Harold Johnson, Carmen Basilio, Joe Brown… all of them, really.

    Do it, do it.


    Should have said all, this HW Dempsey - I’ll edit the op so that is clear but those of you who have voted, be advised.

    If I understand your question correctly, for WILD CARD PICKS, I would have included, in the original list, any boxer who held 3 different weight titles, from among the following weight divisions, of being worthy of induction as a Wild Carder: Flyweight, Featherweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Middleweight, Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight. If I misunderstood your question, chalk it up to age.

    Yes, there are two Jack Dempseys that might have received votes - Heavyweight Jack Demspey and Middleweight Jack Dempsey.

    Middleweight Jack Dempsey is not listed here.

    So as long as you meant to vote or Heavyweight Jack Demspey all is well - if you thought you were voting for Middleweight Jack Dempsey you should have a think.
