Just for a bit of fun, I think we should come up with obscure and funny reasons a fighter should or should not be in the IBHOF. Have some fun. I'll start us off.....

Lennox Lewis is OUT, for wearing shorts that were much too big for him.

Herol Graham is IN, because he once came to the ring to a live clarinet.

Roberto Duran is OUT because his hands aren't really made of stone and likewise, SRL is OUT because he isn't made of sugar.

Likewise Jose Napoles is out as he isn't made of butter but Eric Crumble is in.

David Haye is barred but his little toe is kept in a glass cabinet in the RFHOF lobby

Hector Macho Camacho is out for obvious reasons then.

I'd put Danny Williams in for his shorts, the really long ones.

Danny's shorts are ridiculous and for some reason all HW's with long shorts used to always remind me off the dire state of the division

I love old school short trunks,why doesn't anyone wear them anymore? I would,along with brown gloves and a moustache, as homage to past greats

Fury's worn short shorts before. Well smart.

But because Fury is such an odd shape he makes a mockery of them. I'd prefer to see Fury wearing something like what Jim Corbett used to wear, or a sash type get up like Bartley Gorman.

Them short shorts Hatton worn in his comeback fight, where terrible give me the long ones he used to wear anyday

Paulie Mallignagi iis in for having a haircut between rounds.

Lee MacDonald is in for being in Grange Hill and on the Henry Cooper boxing show.

Naseem Hamed is in for arriving on a flying carpet.

Chris Eubank iis in for arriving on a Harley.

Fan man iis in for obvious reasons.

Richie Evatt is in for having his hair dyed orange with leopard spots.

Michael Alldis is out for those horrible stripy shorts.

Paul Ryan is in for coming into the ring with a flat cap on.

Georgie Smith is in both for the white pleats he used to have and for doubling iin size and sparring Zammo recently for charity.

Monte Barret for trying to jump the top rope against Haye and failing miserably

and Kermit Control for hopping straight through the ropes to avoid a beating, he should be in the fussy hall of fame for the face he pulled when he realised he wasn't going to get a ND result.

Johnny Nelson is barred for calling himself 'The Entertainer'!

Fidel Castro Smith is barred for fighting under the name 'Slugger O'Toole' & then opting to fight under his real name which is almost as strange!

Elvis Parsley should be in.

I used to think Johnny Nelson had the worst shorts ever. They were really OTT.

Tony "TNT" Tubbs for use of an inappropriate nickname. He did not have much power but used the "TNT" nickname.
Really no nickname was necessary because his last name aptly described him.

The Sheffield lot all used to wear them shorts very OTT and why not?

I mean the trunks that were like a straw skirt, I only saw Johnny wear them. They were just too racy for me and they looked tacky when there was no need for it.

Agreed, very girly shorts. Adam Smith loves them.

Johnny Nelson for not throwing a punch for 12 rounds in his first world title fight against Carlos De Leon ?

Troy Dorsey for barking like a dog every time he threw a punch?

If they awarded points for shrugging your shoulders, Johnny would have won that fight via landslide!

Oscar de la hoya is out because he looks like a girl.

Eric "The Buffalo" Odumase, you're in son!

John Macdonald, you as well..

Lance "Mount" and then "Goofi" Whitaker is in.....for having more than one official nickname, the first of which was just sorta ok, since he was tall I guess, and the second of which is completely numbscullish, and then for not even being able to spell the second one correctly.
