Lennox Lewis gets into the Hall. So does Merchant.

Fuck Merchant he doesn't deserve to get in at all, the worst commentator in the sport today.

I don't think any commentator belongs in the Hall--and I question the inclusion of writers and "observers" whatever in God's name they are. I smell a big dose of politics and the thing that bothers me the most is that they never indicate who voted, how they voted, and why they were selected to vote. Too much secrecy to suit me.

Merchant gets in while guys like Benn and Eubanks and Collins and all the great Asians and Tony DeMarco and Danny "Little Red" Lopez watch from the outside in. No. I can't buy that for one minute. Writers have their own Hall of Fame. Put Merchant in there. I say this one should be restricted to boxers, trainers, referees and maybe promoters. I want the stress to be on those who most impact a fight, and Merchant and his ilk do not do that. They report the fight and comment about it; they do not engage in the fight and that's what the Hall should honor.

I never understood how Merchant gets away talking with so much Authority over something he knows so little about.
