    The main reason Barry got in was for reasons outside of boxing - you know, the fact he bonded the Catholics and Protestants when things were on the verge of boiling over in Norn Iron.

    It is labelled the INTERNATIONAL Boxing Hall of FAME, afterall.

    I suppose its one of those issues were his induction becomes increasingly debatable with the passing of time.

    He beat taylor who was undefeated and lost his title in 120 degrees heat. remember when sugar ray robinson lost for the light heavyweight title he blamed the heat.

    No IMO Barry does not belong in the HofF.....

    I've been saying it but nobody listens to me......

    And as I keep saying if hes in there then why question if Gatti deserves the honors?

    IMO, once they let Barry in they pretty much open that door wider now.....

    Hell fucking no. The boxing Hall of Fame needs to do some cleaning up. The first person who should be tossed out is Mcguigan overrated ass.
