Of course, there were additional inductees in the non-boxer categories.. including Teddy Atlas.
Would've expected Rafael Marquez or Ricky Hatton to get in...

i found it bizarre how many ppl were so sure on calderon too, tiny + no real wins that big isnt a recipe for success here

Well deserved. However, there were other worthy guys in the list.

A max of 3 "modern" boxers make it, per year..

Curry seems an odd choice to me.
McGirt I get if you include his contribution as both Fighter and Trainer, but I don't know about including him solely off of his Active Boxing career, but when you combine it with his contribution to the sport as a trainer he's certainly done enough to warrant Hall of Fame induction then.
Jackson should've already been in there. One of the hardest punchers ever, and a personal favorite of mine.

He's the hardest puncher ever. His ability to KTFO with a single punch was terrific.
