No Carruthers, No Rose, No Famechon in the IBHOF, but they made it in the WBHOF. Maybe they should have made movies instead of beating all time greats. Who next for the IBHOF INDUCTEES, maybe Russel Crowe, Robert De Niro, Hilary Swank,
Paul Newman ???????. Hope Woody Allen does'nt start making boxing movies.

One hundred percent agree with this post.
Ingarmar johannsen is in the HOF, granted a colourful and enigmatic fighter. But if he is in then the term Great has been redefined, opening the way for ........3 time world champion Anthony "IBO baby" Mundine to be nominated.

The World Boxing HOF is the older institution.
