I was browsing my way along in the Worldwide Weeb and decided to look for the British Boxing Hall of Fame. No luck. Is there one anywhere?

Is There a British Boxing Hall of Fame?
a very worthy young Historian here in the UK has been trying to make this a dream come true for a number of years now and has spoken to me on the matter on numerous occasions. I have 'promised him that if Gilroy's story ever gets serious success I'll will gladly contribute to this well and truly deserved "home for British boxing greats" and contrary to the FEW names recurgitated over & over & over again by British boxing/sporting media there are literally hundreds of genuine ligitimate greats!
but in true fashion this Honest and Sincere researcher & scribe of the sport has been, so it would seem stepped on and 'tossed a side,' only to have his efforts, shall we say borrowed from others. They could have backed and supported the man and even come on board with him and founded the dream together, but that's just not the way we do things here in Britain.
I don't know who's putting together a HOF or indeed IF ANYBODY IS AT ALL, I only hope that this young historian can come up with the resourses to complete his dream or maybe if he has to join the Borrowers.
irrespective the boxers, the real greats deserve a home.
