Curry, McGirt, Jackson inducted into the IBHOF for 2019

Of course, there were additional inductees in the non-boxer categories.. including Teddy Atlas.

Would've expected Rafael Marquez or Ricky Hatton to get in...

Well deserved. However, there were other worthy guys in the list.

Curry seems an odd choice to me.

McGirt I get if you include his contribution as both Fighter and Trainer, but I don't know about including him solely off of his Active Boxing career, but when you combine it with his contribution to the sport as a trainer he's certainly done enough to warrant Hall of Fame induction then.

Jackson should've already been in there. One of the hardest punchers ever, and a personal favorite of mine.

He's the hardest puncher ever. His ability to KTFO with a single punch was terrific.
