    Default Which of the following boxers belong in the IBHOF?

    Some of the fighters on the 2019 ballot for the IBHOF:

    Donald CURRY (34-6, 25 KOs)
    Genaro HERNANDEZ (38-2-1, 17 KOs)
    Fernando VARGAS (26-5, 22 KOs)
    Meldrick TAYLOR (38-8-1, 20 KOs)
    Sven OTTKE (34-0, 6 KOs)
    Michael MOORER (52-4-1, 40 KOs)
    Dariusz MICHALCZEWSKI (48-2, 38 KOs)
    Rafael MARQUEZ (41-9, 37 KOs)
    Julian JACKSON (55-6, 49 KOs)
    Ricky HATTON (45-3, 32 KOs)

    Who deserves to get in?
    Who is underrated and so will probably be overlooked?

    Hernandez only lost to the very best and beat great fighters himself. Underappreciated.

    Vargas for being a champion so quick and fighting top opponents without avoiding anyone even to his detriment.

    Taylor for beating McGirt and nearly beating Chavez.

    They seem not to have a limit to the amount they can induct a year. But they do have five categories they can choose from, and again no limit.

    Seems like anyone who makes a bit of noise can get in once on the ballot. Have you heard of anyone being a second ballot?

    I think as regular as Aaron Davis, Donald Curry or even a Marvin Johnson can get in.

    But, if I had to choose only THREE from your list as a first ballot HOFer, I'd have to go with: Moorer, Jackson and Hatton. But, Vitali is on the ballot this year as well: So, scratch Hatton and put in Vitali. Just due to the fact of seniority over Hatton and Moorer and Jackson were a little more special in their division at their time.

    Hatton is not a HOF.

    I should have said I vote for Curry, he is my favourite welterweight.

    Good questions all. One correction though. Vitali is already inducted.

    That being said, the IBHOF inducts a maximum of 3 fighters in a year. Which is good because as with any HOF, I personally prefer some exclusivity to maintain the honor status of the Hall.

    One fighter I would definitely add to the list above is Ivan "Iron Boy" Calderon.

    I would say Jackson and Curry would be two of my favorites from that list.

    One name I see being thrown around for 2019 is Vinny Pazienzia.


    Bluntly put. If Vinny Pazienzia gets inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, it instantly destroys the credibility of the Hall and stains all the members already in it.

    I hope the panel of voters has better sense than to do something stupid like that.

    I hope Dariusz Michalczewski gets in, but he probably won't.

    He unified the light heavyweight titles, then was stripped for no good reason. He moved up to cruiserweight and won a title. He defeated someone who managed to get voted in: Virgil Hill.

    Feels a lot like the age old discussion concerning p4p rankings and is so subjective. Title defenses? Popularity and tv appearances? Belts collected? Level of competition throughout? McGuigan and Gatti slipped right in. As unpopular as it may sound Aaron Pryor is often spoken about in terms of the big fights and opponents he missed and the in and out of the ring difficulties. But he was a buzzsaw and tv friendly with two wins over Arguello, one with the asterisk of a water bottle. Michalczewski had what, a run of 20 + defenses and then was stripped in the name of politics after handily beating a man who is already in the hof. If class and sportsmanship gets you in I go Chicanito Hernandez for sure. I also like how Moorer was on a streak at 175 as other champs seemed disinclined to fight him so he packed on 40 lbs in 4 months and went right to hvy and shortly beat Holyfield. Bowe sits in the hall arguably based on the same.

    No love for Rafael Marquez?!?! He was a beast and he had some great fights and beat some great fighters. His first three fights with Izzy Vasquez alone is enough for me to vote him in. Surprised he isn’t getting more support.

    He's right behind Jackson and Curry for me.

    Yea. I went to the site and saw he was being inducted, but for 2018 and this is for 2019. My bad.
