Hamed won't get in at the mo, as he is still talking about coming back

Benn should definitely get in, lesser fighters are in there i.e. McGuigan. Benn won world titles at two weights, beat McClellan and fought and won a title in the US.

Jimmy Wilde and Ted Kid Lewis (if eligable) should have already been in.

Howard Winstone, should get in before Lewis' 5 years are up - then Lewis.

I think you have to have been retired a number of years in order that people know you aint comming back. Did stuart mention 5 years or was that in another context.
