Is The Boxing HOF Too Easy To Enter?

[acb]

I feel sometimes that it is.

What would your requirements be to enter if given the opportunity to make them?

Who of todays fighters would enter and who would not?

[Thread Stealer]

Yes, the standards are too low, in general.

Who of todays fighters would enter and who would not?

Oscar, Mayweather, Tito, Roy, Hopkins, Toney, Barrera, Morales, Pacquiao, Holyfield are all locks, first-ballot enshrinees.

Calzaghe, the Marquez brothers, Winky....all are more than likely to make it.

The standards aren't exceptionally high...you don't have to be a consensus ATG to get it.

Too easy. Way too easy.

[Stewbear]

this has been covered many times, and it still easy.
almost funny boxing cant even get a HOF right ]:

[Guru_Too_You]

Boxers take years of punches to the dome for our entertainment purposes.

The least we can do is let them have their own hall for it, and the standards dont need to be that high.

Damn, give them something easy for a change.

[mightyd40]

way to easy.....they should cut back the acceptances to every few years instead of every year.

[Stewbear]

Their standards are incredibly low. B asically any big name fighter of their eras can get in, whether or not he did anything truly great.

I think it is because it is easier to have a few obviously undeserving boxers in there, than leave out some fighters that in a sport as subjective as boxing could be argued for.

according to their standards Michalczewski and Ottke are going to enter it...
