Young Corbett II
Jung Koo Chang
Rocky Kansas
Danny Lopez
Lloyd Marshall
Billy Miske

Finally, Rocky Kansas get's in.

Awesome for Rocco Tozzo

Hmm I thought "Little Red" Lopez was already in, guess I was wrong.

Probably the best induction I have seen in a long, long, time

they all deserved to be in...Especially for Lloyd Marshall and Danny Lopez were long overdue.

Frankly, Young Corbett II was a bit of a surprise I thought. He's got two big wins over Terry McGovern, but not much else comparetively speaking.

I am thrilled for Danny Lopez. But as far as I'm concerned, any induction that does not include Koichi Wajima is a bad induction. Failure to include Wajima is the worst kind of parocialism.

A little surprising that Miske made; don't recall having anyone arguing for him before.
None of these guys are legends, but you can make a decent case for each of them.
Why on earth Eddie Mustapha Muhammad still isn't in is mind boggling; especially when you consider that Matthew Saad Muhammad has now been in for 12 years.

LOL

You have to cultivate the right people.

Eddie didn't.

You would have to go to a hotel bar after a fight and observe how petty and womanish and prejudiced the Bert Sugars and the rest of the clowns 'covering' boxing are.

Then you would understand.

I've seen it here in Britain, and when I started out I thought they were all for reporting fact, history and greatness - Boy did I wake up fast!

The British press may just be the vilest of all.

I was told by a London "collector" that it's pretty much an old boys club and you won't secure your/their positions by questioning that which has already been stated or is the status quo... I did't belive him - I thought everybody would be open and honest about new finds or material.

I was wrong, but again it woke me up to what I was in for.

The press is a stooge operation.

They know they will lose their jobs in a second if they don't promote the "agenda."

Most of the posts on this site consist of true believers posting breathlessly whatever tired crap their media churns out for them.
