The Really Fussy Hall of Fame

Post by keithmoonhangover »

Just for a bit of fun, I think we should come up with obscure and funny reasons a fighter should or should not be in the IBHOF. Have some fun. I'll start us off.....

Lennox Lewis is OUT, for wearing shorts that were much too big for him.

Herol Graham is IN, because he once came to the ring to a live clarinet.

Roberto Duran is OUT because his hands aren't really made of stone and likewise, SRL is OUT because he isn't made of sugar.

Likewise Jose Napoles is out as he isn't made of butter but Eric Crumble is in.

Hector Macho Camacho is out for obvious reasons then.

I'd put Danny Williams in for his shorts, the really long ones.

:TU: Danny's shorts are ridiculous and for some reason all HW's with long shorts used to always remind me off the dire state of the division

I love old school short trunks,why doesn't anyone wear them anymore? I would,along with brown gloves and a moustache, as homage to past greats

But because Fury is such an odd shape he makes a mockery of them. I'd prefer to see Fury wearing something like what Jim Corbett used to wear, or a sash type get up like Bartley Gorman.

:salut: and Kermit Control for hopping straight through the ropes to avoid a beating, he should be in the fussy hall of fame for the face he pulled when he realised he wasn't going to get a ND result.

Johnny Nelson is barred for calling himself 'The Entertainer'! :oops:

Fidel Castro Smith is barred for fighting under the name 'Slugger O'Toole' & then opting to fight under his real name which is almost as strange! :o

I used to think Johnny Nelson had the worst shorts ever. They were really OTT.

Tony "TNT" Tubbs for use of an inappropriate nickname. He did not have much power but used the "TNT" nickname.
Really no nickname was necessary because his last name aptly described him.

I mean the trunks that were like a straw skirt, I only saw Johnny wear them. They were just too racy for me and they looked tacky when there was no need for it.

Agreed, very girly shorts. Adam Smith loves them.

If they awarded points for shrugging your shoulders, Johnny would have won that fight via landslide! :oops:

Lance "Mount" and then "Goofi" Whitaker is in.....for having more than one official nickname, the first of which was just sorta ok, since he was tall I guess, and the second of which is completely numbscullish, and then for not even being able to spell the second one correctly.
