Thread: IBHOF 2025 thoughts?

http://www.ibhof.com/pages/induction...nounce_25.html Michael Nunn, Vinny Pazienza, Manny Pacquiao, Yessica Chavez, Mary Jo Sanders and Anne Sophie Mathis as far as fighters.

The ballot was stacked and was hoping for Gilberto Roman or for Marlon Starling to simply get a mere sniff and nomination. Manny is a no brainer. Not trying to raz the Paz but oh my . HOF worthy ehh I dunno. Good trilogy with Haugen and topped a 50 year old Duran. Tough enough all action fan friendly but get the feeling that his story and possibly follow up movie pushed him over as much as anything in the ring. Still though, there are sure to be disputes with every class inducted. One day and added to the bucket list is to actually make one of these ceremonies. One year. We're not getting any younger

vinny shouldn't be there out of the three moderns

Gatti'ville in a way. Their criteria is all over the place sometimes. Both much better 'boxers' at their initial lighter weights.

100 percent agree on Pazienzia not belonging.

This isn't personality based, for crying out loud!! I think the judging committee got swayed by factors other than Pazienzia's resume. Pure and simple. Damn, I remember not liking Pazienzia AT ALL back when he was fighting. A loudmouth punk who got schooled and destroyed by Roy Jones Jr. One of my favorite all-time fights, I might add.

The HOF isn't what it used to be.



Edit:

Just took a look at the entire list of IBHOF inductees, and.... DAMN. Vinny "Yo Vinny" Pazienzia's name sticks out like a sore thumb. HOF committee really fukked up on that one.
