Boxrec Hall of Fame Ballot (November 2010)

[Ambling Alp]

It's time for another election.
As alway, anyone with 75% or more will be elected. If no one gets that high of a %, the fighter(s) with the most votes will be elected.

This time voters must select 15-25 fighters, and they must vote only for fighters who received at least 2 votes in the last election. (Those fighters are listed in alphabetical order below)

This will increase the chances of a fighters getting 75% of the vote.

This also reduces the chances of having to resort to Inducting the fighter(s) who got the most votes (which can lead people to not vote for someone because that fighter would have had one more vote than everyone else and would be the only fighter elected. There are other quirks that can happen as well.)
It is easier to tally the votes since not so many fighters will be getting votes.

We are only doing it this way every other election. Next time, voters can vote for anyone that is not already in and has not been active for 10 years.

The deadline is Noon, (Central Time) Monday, November 15.

Vote for 15-25 out of the following 38 eligible fighters:

Anybody want to share why they would leave John Henry Lewis off?

Edit: Not saying anybody is right or wrong. Just curious because he is an absolute no brainer for me.

Cause he got knocked out in the 1st round by almighty Joe Louis! Haha, I'm kidding. I didn't put him on because I knew I'd throw him on the next ballot selection.

What makes you put a Saldivar over him? They are all great fighters, so it's subjective. You can make up to 25 picks so I figured you had him below all of the guys you listed. Lewis resume is really sick, he could be the most deserving fighter on that list.

Rosenbloom x2, Scozza multiple times, Fox, Elmer Ray, Gainer and many more. He is a really unappreciated great imo. Top 50 all time.

[Seamus]

I've had John Henry Lewis on my ballot since January 2007.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

There is no right or wrong, I was just wondering where you or Elmer were coming from. I'd include Lewis if you could only pick 3.

[Ezzard]

Saad’s electioneering made me reconsider Lewis and I believe he’s made a good call.

To everyone who hasn’t picked Owen Moran…please check the guy who was your final pick to go in and compare them. Draws with Attell and Driscoll and split fights with Wolgast prove he was their equal.

I think he should definitely go before Aaron Pryor.

Pete Herman is not in the BoxRec Hall of Fame. He is not eligible this time because he did not get two votes last time. He will be eligible next time when anyone that has not been elected and has not been in action for 10 years will be eligible.
