    Very good article, did you write that yourself or did you do what celebrities do and get someone else to do it for you and you just put your name to it?

    Haven't you seen there's a guy called 'Ghost' on the forum?

    Seriously though, very good article, are we going to get some sort of petition going to try and send to the IBHOF to back up this appeal?

    great article! you make a great case for his induction.

    i can tell you're quite passionate about this subject and you said you were gonna submit it to the boxing hall of fame...so... in the seventh paragraph, i think you meant "one fateful day" rather than "one fatal day".

    no petition as I tried that 10 years ago... just gonna submit his name for possible induction. there is a quote online from Freddie Roach saying was Harry a good trainer or just lucky to have met Ray Robinson and i think its ignorant quotes like that, that has prob kept him out so wanted to make that article more about his whole contribution to boxing rather than focusing on his time with Ray which in itself should be worth induction.

    As an experienced writer, I feel obliged to point out that that is no way to talk about elderly relatives!
