    I have a problem wit anyone who is not a boxer. Writers simply don't belong, especially since member of the BWAA get to vote. It's a personal thang an clearly understand the opposite views. I also would liked to have seen Henry Maske get in. But Eddie Booker was great,

    All in all, solid selections.
    No complaints. How about you? Any complaints?

    No all fine. On my bucket list would be to go to one of these conventions and meet some legends.

    Good picks for sure. I have a slight problem with Holyfield in that he's so obviously someone who was juicing for a large part if not virtually all of his career and in any other sport it would have cost him, but of course on paper he's a no brainer.

    If they have his samples they can re-test it. I just can not see Evander using steroids at least at cruiserweight.

    That was a completely different boxer.

    for years going to the ibhof was a must for me at some point

    My interest in the sport has dwindled though in recent years so unless they decide to move it into the neighbouring street to me one year I doubt I'll ever go
