Should Michael Nunn be in the Hall?

Well i always thought that Suagr Ray Leonard was guy that did more good for the sport then bad in and out of the ring.

LeonardW12Hagler....
I actually disagree, I think his crimes should be taken into consideration.
As a notable figure in the boxing world Nunn brought the game into disrepute.
He will forever be known as Michael Nunn, former World Boxing Champion and as such his crimes will always have a spin-off effect on boxing.

Names like SRL, Ali and George Foreman reinforced their sure fire HoF passes when they became great ambassadors for the sport.
Nunn dirtied boxings name, although unintentionally.

Sugar Ray Leonard a great ambassador for the sport ? didn't he have cocaine addiction ? and i didn't think Muhammad Ali was a great ambassador for the sport either with his racism and disrespectful attitude to his opponents.

But they did change and Ali renounced the racism later. Still, you make a darn good point.

Agreed...and he is still doing it.

Michael Nunn did something that isn't as bad as what other HOF fighters have admitted to doing.

Nunn just wasn't as good at getting away with it.

And michael nunn didn't "get caught" by james toney. Toney was landing heavy shots in the last 2 rounds. Toney wore him down.
