What happened to Modern Hall of Fame Boxers?
Posted: 09 Oct 2014, 14:12
Recently, the International Boxing Hall of Fame committee changed the rules that Old-Timers that last fought from 1893 to 1942 is now extended to 1988, so good or great fighters who last fought before 1988 that never got inducted will induct 5 fighters who will have the chance.
My question is what would happen to the Modern Boxers who were already Hall of Famers? Would great boxers like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Sugar Ray Robinson, Archie Moore, Carlos Monzon, "Marvelous" Marvin Hagler and others transfer from Modern category to Old-Timer category in the Late Era? Or they still listed in the Modern Category when next year's IBHOF come?
