Vinnie Paz is a HOFer now... But Michalczewski still isn't!

I wish the standers were higher for the boxing hall of fame. No way should vinny Paz be in it

 

I agree completely. Manny was no doubt a slam dunk and I really like seeing Nunn get in but no way should Paz have made it especially over long reigning champions like Michalczewski and Chris John. Those two guys get screwed every year because they didn't fight in the US or the UK which has the majority of the boxing press that votes. Now there is validity to the fact that Michalczewski didn't fight Roy Jones or even Antonio Tarver but he still had some really good wins and was the lineal champ. Regarding Chris John, he reigned for a decade and beat Juan Manuel Marquez for God's sake. Paz doesn't have anything on his record close to that. Beating a 40 year old Roberto Duran at Super Middleweight shouldn't get you in the hall of fame. Israel Vasquez is another guy that was far more worthy.

 

True,Santos Laciar still didn't make it to the IBHOF too,and De Jesus...

 

Didn't Michalzewski refuse to defend his title outside of Germany? Maybe that's why........

 

Another one I think deserves IBHOF is Veeraphol Sahaprom...he beat Joichiro Tatsuyoshi twice, Toshiaki Nishioka twice and drew with him twice too,he also beat Daorung Chuwatana(who had Nana Yaw Konadu in his resume)he defended his bantamweight title 14 times if I'm not wrong,all that plus the fact he became the long reigning champ at 30,even if he won an alphabet soup championship that longetivity is crazy.

 

Yuri Arbachakov had two legit wins over ATG Muangchai Kittikasem in his prime,beat good fighters in Sasakul,Zamudio,Nam and Bohol,had 9 title defenses,still not inducted yet.
Jiro Watanabe beat Flyweight WBC and lineal champ Koji Kobayashi in just one round,bested Payao Poontarat twice who beat tricky stylist Eusebio Espinal for the title,got sketchy decision vs Chul Ho Kim,beat old but gold Shoji Oguma,and another two good fighters in Pedroza and Ballas...still not IBHOF inductee of course.

 

Yes Adamek should be in.

 

As a result of this year's pick(s), I shall hereby no longer recognize the IBHoF.

 

A disgrace that he got in is putting it mildly

 

Who wins, Paz or Gatti?

 

That either fighter would get in ahead of Ceferino Garcia is a crime.

 

Nunn and pac was a jackpot, Paz was a crackpot.
