    The disrespect towards Gilberto Roman still continues. A great Mexican champion and arguably one of the best Super Flyweights. He has a stronger resume than Khaosai Galaxy who has been in the IBHOF for decades.

    Still can’t wrap my head around how they keep putting in undeserving fighters in the HOF and leaving out the actual great fighters who deserve it more.

    Kinda off topic but anybody know what happened to that Ra's Al Ghul guy? Seems his membership was before my time but I can't get why his posts don't show up unless quoted. Did his posts get deleted with his account or was this some kind of very severe ban? I'm very intrigued to find out the lore behind this guy.

    Roman dying young also doesn't help his case. It seems a lot revolves around who they can have be there on induction night and for functions that the place is holding.

    I think because he’s been dead the whole time there’s been a HOF and lots of the votes aren’t properly educated on the sport outside of bigger weight classes and HBO & Showtime.

    He is an absolute no-brainer and he’ll never get in. Absolutely bonkers. Hall won’t push him too because he obviously doesn’t help ticket sales.
