Who's your favorite hall of famer? Mine is Rocky Marciano, I already explained why in the thread who's your favorite boxer. I don't know if this counts, the other one is Larry Holmes, he is being inducted in june of 07. Who's your favorite hall of famer?

 

[TommyGunn]

id have to say ali. he was a great man as well as a great fighter, im surprised tommy hearns isnt in the HOF.

 

[bill1234]

Yeah, me too he should be he had a good record and was champ, maybe he wasn't champ long enough.

 

[TommyGunn]

yeah but he won world belts in 5 diffrent weights that should ensure him his place. i dont know if you,ve got to be retired for so long to be considered because hearns still fights on and off.

 

[bill1234]

You need to be retired for at least 5 years to be eligable.

 

[TommyGunn]

My favorite hall of famer is Alexis Arguello.

Arguello is there every year for induction week. He is cool , really friendly guy. Last year was my 1st year to attend & he was the 1st fighter I met.

[Kameleon]

What are the requirements to get into the Boxing HOF?

 

[TommyGunn]

i think you have to be retired for 5 years. oh and have a damn good carrer.

 

[bill1234]

You do have to be retired for 5 years, and meet a certain amount of requirements.

 

[ERIK]

I think they have a group who nominates guys each year.

 

[Kameleon]

So can you be inducted into the HOF without winning a title? For instance say a boxer goes 100-0-0, undeafeted with no title, can he be inducted?

 

[TommyGunn]

no way, any of us could go 100.0.0 depending on the bums you pick to fight.

 

[bill1234]

A group of 150 elects the inductees, but they get a card and they vote.

 

[ERIK]

So can you be inducted into the HOF without winning a title? For instance say a boxer goes 100-0-0, undeafeted with no title, can he be inducted?

Yes , you dont have to be a former champ. But I think it helps

 

[TommyGunn]

Yes , you dont have to be a former champ. But I think it helps
