Boxrec Hall of Fame Ballot (May 2011)

[Ambling Alp]

It's time for another Hall of Fame Election. The deadline for submitting a ballot is Noon CDT on May 15, 2011. 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 January 1, 2002 to be eligible.
-You can change your vote. Your last vote before the deadline will be the one counted.
-Candidates who are named on at least 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 and will want to change your ballot.

So far there had a been a good variety of fighters from different era's, weight classes, styles, etc. Hopefully that will continue. There are currently 99 fighters in the Boxrec Hall of Fame.
