Beg to differ... if Hitler was a great boxer before the holocaust and was voted in, I think he is getting thrown out. Just sayin
Think there are limitations, if the crime was severe enough I don't think any sport wants to tarnish there image, anything can happen if the public outcry is loud enough
LOL, this is boxing, and Jose Sulaiman is in there, and you could not get a bigger criminal than El Presidente!* I reckon Gilberto Mendoza will be next...
Then there is Bob Lee**.
Frank Wa.... actually I am not going there BBC NEWS | UK | England | Norfolk | Promoter wins boxing libel case

What if a boxer turned out to be like Gary Glitter though, would they stay in, or would they booted?
I guess a more likely scenario would be has there ever been a fighter who clearly SHOULD be in the HOF but for serious misdemenours outside of boxing he was NEVER put in?
I think the only way it might happen is if a fighter currently in the hall came forward saying that he was regularly juiced up for fights, had willing taking bribes & thrown fights, or used illegal wraps or something for his fights...
