[JAHamilton77]

When is the next vote?

I have done alot of reading since the last vote took place and am anxious to vote again

[kidlefty]

This sticky shouldn't be deleted. The Hall of Fame is a lot of fun. Kid Lefty does disappear for a while but he does come back. Kid Lefty we need you!

LOL! How do you know me so well alp?

Is there interest in picking this up again?

A great thing about it is there can be a long break, and then we can still pick up where we left off.

[Ambling Alp]

Kid Lefty - There is is a lot of interest in the Boxrec Hall of Fame. It's a lot of fun.
Lets do another selection.
Can you run it again for us?

[Seamus]

Yeah, my list for the 4th round is already as well.

[JAHamilton77]

I say do one more for now and then make a regular schedule afterward.
Maybe every 6 months or so.

[sockdolager]

this thread is a good Idea and should be continued by someone else.....NOT IT!

[Poncey]

where's SR Leonard, Chavez and Duran??

[JAHamilton77]

Whats the hell, after all the bitching that was done last time about Packy McFarland not making it, and he didnt make it again?

[Ambling Alp]

This kind of thing happens. A few people might feel very strongly that a guy should make it; but there simply isn't enough of them. This time McFarland only missed by 1 vote. He is getting close.

[Ambling Alp]

where's SR Leonard, Chavez and Duran??

A fighter has to be retired 10 years before becoming eligible. Leonard just became eligible (his last fight was in March of 1997) and he was elected in this past election.

Duran's last fight was in 2001 so he won't be eligible until 2011.
Chavez' last fight was in 2005 so he won't be eligible until 2015.

[Luigi1985]

I´m curious that nobody mentioned Duilio Loi yet...

[JAHamilton77]

This will clear up some space for a new set of guys to make it.
I think there will be 1 or 2 more clear elections (the process, not just 2 inductees), after that though all of the obvious cadidates will be used up.

In Favor of all, though Sanchez is minorly debatable.

It's important that the Original Jack Dempsey be instated this time around.
