I think it took the win over BHop to convince the boys at the BHOF to include Joe.
I'd still like to see Lupe Pintor voted in, he deserves to be for his ring battles, and the life he's led.
If Dariusz Michalczewski was American, he'd already be in there. IMO

Three fighters get inducted annually. This years batch was particularly strong and all three were first balloters.
Be interesting to see who gets in next time there's a quiet year. Naz is still on the list and will probably get in at some point. Gatti got in first time, and McGuigan is there too. Haye has no chance as the Yanks don't like him, while Hatton will probably get in.
How the eff is Hamed not in the HOF and McGuigan is?
I don't understand halls of fame, frankly.

There is a massive biased towards North and South American fighters in the IBHOF.
