Michael Nunn - ibhof thoughts

I agree that Ohba should be in- a no-brainer.

Maybe the IBHoF will make big money on induction weekend and then put that money into upgrading the absolute dump facility they operate.

I agree that Ohba should be in- a no-brainer.

especially with good video on YouTube having been available for a few years now.


more fighters I'd like to see in: Simon Brown. I first read about him in KO or World Boxing in their "on the way down" column in which the writer opened by admitting "Brown was a great fighter" before depicting his steep decline which surprised me. However I checked out his title fights and it was a ferocious run as unified (though not undisputed) welterweight champ, stopping Tyrone Trice in two epics, grinding down Maurice Blocker in another exciting one as well as notching some devastating early KOs before Buddy McGirt outboxed him in a masterclass. Brown as we know rebounded by smashing Terry Norris - in a very good shootout - around the time that the Hall of Famer was regarded as the p4p best in the world, although Norris would box to an easy victory in the rematch. Brown, like Curry, was very damn good for 2-3 years and had a very good title reign at welter. Past his prime he was in some very exciting matches, vs Vince Pettway (the up and downer with Brown still punching, when on his back) and Reuben Bell in which both men put on 4 plus rounds of non stop milling, before Bell pulled out with a bad hand.

Brown, HoF'er Julian Jackson and all time great Mike McCallum flew the flag for boxers from the West Indies, post Emile Griffith.
