🥊🔥 FROM ONE HALL OF FAMER TO A FUTURE HALL OF FAMER!
What a special moment at the legendary Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn, NY!
🗣️ “HE’S GOING TO JOIN ME IN THE HALL OF FAME THIS YEAR!”

I don't think Israel Vasquez should be voted into IBHOF, I feel the committee or whatever controls the HOF, should simply induct him & I think this approach should be used for fighters who have the merit but are in poor health instead of wasting time.

McCallum boxed like Hank Aaron played outfield. Willie Mays was flashier, but Aaron got the job done.

And it was just a slobber knocker of a fight. Just two young, tough, talented contenders battling it out.

40 yrs ago Oct 17: Iran Barkley outpoints James Kinchen over 10, 160lbs, Cobo Arena Detroit. Substituting for contender Robbie Sims, future 2-time champ “The Blade” uses 9th-round knockdown to upset future 3-time title challenger “The Heat” in brisk affair on Hearns-DeWitt card.

Respectfully, I can give you 10 guys on the ballot who were rarely on American tv in any context.
J. Corpas retweeted
In reality, many guys on the ballot were not widely available to see in their day. Voters should do research. And many voters are actually younger than the actually fights/fights you are discussing. The conversations around this should be fair.

Me and @NajiChill have a interesting conversation regarding fans position on @Zuffa_Boxing #Boxing #Boxeo

The IBHOF is issuing a fall appeal for donations to help offset rising utility expenses, cost of goods & services along with lower admission & gift shop income during the off season. Together we can keep the magic alive in Canastota. Visit ibhof.com for more info.

Imagine yourself at ringside at the Las Vegas Hilton and hearing Chuck Hull and Michael Buffer introduce Larry Holmes and Lennox Lewis just before they touch gloves and come out fighting. It certainly helps set the mood for the latest "Classic Clashes" episode hosted by @SmittyBoxing and myself, which can be seen here: youtube.com/watch?v=InLRRuVD….
