BoxRec

It's time for another Hall of Fame Election. The deadline for submitting a ballot is Noon CDT on May 15, 2012. 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, 2003 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.

What happened to your 10 out of 10 knowledge of the modern era?

I'm thinkin' Nelson and Fenech are not qualified...?

Alp said he was because the fight with Fenech came so late. I pointed that out when people were voting for him before.

I was just reading your rule....

-A fighter's last fight has to be before January 1, 2002 to be eligible.

Thanks for catching that I will edit that. I just copied and pasted from previous elections.

Just to further clarify a couple of things about eligibility:
1. Larry holmes has last fight was in July of 2002. However we have been allowing fighters eligible in this situation. We aren't going by the month. As long as someone didn't fight in 2003 or later, he is eligible this time.

The reason this was changed is becasue we of the way we do the 2nd election of the year in November. In that election, only fighters who got two or more votes (but not enough votes to be elected) in the May election are eligible. Obviously a fighter likes holmes would not be eligible at all this year since he would have no votes if we didn't make an allownace.
2. We have been allowing votes Nelson and Fenech. Ignoring their comeback fight which was several years after they retired the first time.
