BOXREC HALL OF FAME BALLOT!! (May 2010)
Posted: 05 May 2010, 13:31
It's time for another Hall of Fame Election. The deadline for submitting a ballot is Noon CDT on May 15, 2010. I will total the ballots after that.
A brief summary of the rules for this election:
-A voter can vote for up to 25 names. (If you vote for more than 25, your entire ballot doesn't count.)
-A fighter's last fight has to be before May 15, 2010 to be eligible.
-You can change your vote. Your last vote before the deadline will be the one counted.
-Candidates who are named on atleast 75% of the ballots are elected. If no fighters receive enough votes, the fighter(s) with the most will be elected.
Go to the Boxrec Hall of Fame Sticky (p.2) for more complete rules.
To vote, just list your selections on this thread. (Don't put them on the Hall of Fame Sticky or any other thread.)
It would be appreciated if you list your selections in alphabetical order.
It's a good idea to check every name that other voters have on their ballot. You may find someone that you overlooked.
So far there had a been a good variety of fighters from different era's, weight classes, styles, etc. Hopefully that will continue.

Also, voters are encouraged to name one fighter on their ballot that they consider the most worthy and briefly why. You don't have to do this to vote. However, it may help the cause of that fighter.
