HOF VOTE: BOB FITZSIMMONS

[Neri]

Should he be inducted into the Hall of Fame? Yes or No?

Would like to see arguments for and against. Crease any stats for this man?

[BoxBuzz]

It would be for Bob Fitzimmons and his mngmnt team to decide whether they would allow the Hall of Fame to be associated with his name. He is bigger than Fame itself, though the Hall may want to be taken along the Fitzimmons express, for a ride.

Bob is after all a Lonsdale recipient. Any "Fame" vendor should simply pray that Fitz allows his name to be associated with it.

Lonsdale recipents ARE simpugilistic ICONS. Any association of his name within "HOF" circles would simply be expected, assumed, taken for granted and purely superflous.

[Crease]

Though I would also add that there is another fighter which I would rate as the best of the Middleweights.

[JDC]

[Sweet P]

Yes

[jBacca]

How did Bob Fitz compare against the other fighters? Were Jones, Hagler, Greb not better? We can't induct everyone if so.

Oh and Crease, that Prizefighter win is not a fornicating accolade you infested scrotum.

[jBacca]

Upon reading the stats thread. How can anyone justify entering Fitzsimmons into the HOF when there are a good 5 or so fighters who won multiple world championships??

The HOF is for stand-out fighters. Simples. How will it look if we've got 5 fighters getting entered this year from a half-season?

Use some discrepancy you rancid fucktards.


NO

[glittermonkey]

No. No one should get in from this season.

[Crease]

I'd say: NO.
(Sorry Ben, it's nothing personal, he just wasn't that great in all honesty).

Based on the observation that he was not the best in the Middleweight season.

Hagler was more succesful... I'll be very surprised if Hagler doesn't get an official HOF vote thread.

[SAV]

YOS!

[Crease]

YOS!

What did Fitz do to get your vote Sav?
Just as a matter of interest.

[Deno1986]

No. His manager never kept proper records of his fights unlike Charley Burley whose stats and fights are lined up for other Simmers to see in the appropriate thread. If Fitz gets in, Burley should be awknowledged too.

[Neri]

5-2 to the No vote so far.

[Neri]

Maybe TF might be able to pop in and post Bob's record when he has the time.

[armageto]

No

[JDC]

Sam Langford

[hitman09]

no

[kevo]

No.

There were no outstanding fighters this season so nobody should be inducted.

[Crease]

No.

There were no outstanding fighters this season so nobody should be inducted.

Hagler was the number one this season. Will he get a HOF vote thread?

That was fun recapping the season, Now Bitches you need to change your votes

And Crease you are completley Wrong, Marvin Hagler was not the Best fighter, He was beaten up and broken down by Fitszimmons and was never the same fighter after there fight.

I might also add only beaten once as a result of KO, the rest on Cuts.

[Marlin]

[Crease]

Fitz lost to Yama Bahama? An unranked cpu fighter?

That is definitely the final nail in the coffin for Fitz's HOF ambitions.

[Sweet P]

In a fight he was winning easily, and cut. That was also the last week Freddie was in our gym.

[BoxBuzz]

BenK your fighter owns the Lonsdale....and your fighter backed down the first eligible super fight rival. A fight that would have consolidated the titles had it happened. But your fighter made it clear he was ready to go.

Fitz does not need the HOF and those who vote against him are nonsensical haters.

Except Crease....he's just a bit delayed.
