EASTside boxing Hall of Fame

[tays001]

i was thinking the IBOF standards are not that great for inductee i was thinking since ESB has the best Forum with some of the most Knowledgable fans around. we should start an ESB HOF for the fighters that truely deserve it based on there credentials that way we can truely show them how far apart they are from the pack they are.:good

how about it what you guy's think?

[tays001]

No Body Got An Opinion

[tays001]

I Mean We REALLY NEED THIS For That Alone. Unless We Already Do . If We Do Get One I Think Criteria Should Be Very Strick No Gatii Or Vargas

OR GREAT TV FIGHTERS THAT HAVE NO TALENT SOR COULD OF BEENS

[brooklyn1550]

not a bad idea

[King Dan]

I love this idea!

My first Inductee......obviously Chava Sanchez!!!

[TAM83]

Go for it, sounds good to me

[moses]

Not a bad idea. However, how would we nominate inductees? Everybody has got a favourite, and the posters on here are certainly not always without bias. Which criteria should we use?

[tays001]

well let start with this the fighter has to have been retired at least 5 years

[tays001]

we can't induct every fighter that has ever one a belt cuz we no that would be tainted

[TAM83]

well let start with this the fighter has to have been retired at least 5 years

You should set a limit of inductions for a certain period of time, otherwise it'll be a free for all

[cross_trainer]

YES!

Limits are a good idea. Additionally, I recommend an MMA sub-hall, which the MMA forum will be glad to fill.

So....how are we going to go about this? Is anyone interested in making a website or a subsection of ESB? What sort of standards will we be using? How many inductees will we limit it to the first time around?

[tays001]

i say we get a pannel of 7 forum poster which have had to been on the forum for at least 1 year and who's oppinion respected and is able to judge a fight with out predjudice. each month one of the 7 post a thread of who should be inducted and from that thread they take the 10 most crediable boxers and post a poll then the 7 evealuate the poll and decide. if you have a better way please share or add

[TAM83]

YES!

Start with people nominating one person from each weight division, then start a poll for the nominations.

[moses]

when do we start? I mean, there are some obvious legends out there, but many of us on here are too young to have ever seen those fighters. Can we induct those guys just based on their legend?

[tays001]

i say a limit of 5 per month .

tamm 33 thats a good suggestion

[Lampley]

Great idea! I think you also need to be very explicit vis-a-vis admission standards.

Namely, do you account for the below:

1) Career Resume (obviously)

2) Impact (this could mean impact outside the ring, or someone who revolutionized something)

3) Popularity (this is the Gatti argument)

4) Character (i would assume not, or else a lot of greats will be excluded)


I would start with a rapid-fire system to create a foundation of guys, then maybe vote on up to five candidates once per year. Make it very formal.

But maybe your idea for five a month is a good start.

[tays001]

for though of you who voted no why not

this is very good once we get the results of this poll esb will have to nominate the peopl that will organize and vote.

[sues2nd]

This is a fantastic idea!!!!

Im all for it!!!!

[tays001]

please start nomanating the 7 you would like to see on the board or nominate your self so we can get this rolling

[Lampley]

I'd definitely start in the Classic forum with this process. Crosstrainer obviously would be a fine addition, and there are others (although some of the knowledgeable posters are crazy) hanging around as well.

[tays001]

great to see the support this way we have somthing no other boxing web site has

[tays001]

very true we need to make sure we dont get the guy or gal thinking soda popinskie is the greatest of all time:yep

[Orishaman]

I say potential candidates for the first wave of ESB HOF...

Radar, Lance Uppercut, Cross Trainer, Zivic, Widdow Makker, Achilles, Kirk, Orishaman, Amsterdam, & Freddy that would be my initial class of ESB HOF's...

this is for the board that has the finale decision on who is incucted after the polls?

[TAM83]

To be honest I reckon you have to be more public with it, if not then it's basically just seven guys making their own HOF. For it to be an ESB HOF it has to be picked by all of the members. TBH most people have a good knowledge on this site, so I'm sure it would work well.

[Orishaman]

Such a modest fellow!

But you have to admit it is a good list of inductees

[tays001]

this esb hof is not for poster but for boxers. but i reckon we can add a posters HOF

[C Money]

The BHOF covers the boxers!!! If anything we should have a posters HOF and the credentials should be agreed upon by the 'majority'.

I'm all for it and while I'm not the best? I'm certainly willing to POST WITH THE BEST and may one day be so honored!!!!:D

[New Wind]

cool idea!

[tays001]

so are we going to get this thing started???

[kg0208]

I agree more with a posters HOF than a boxers HOF, though I agree with both.

Posters HoF though would have to have like any other HoF a majority vote and the initial class would have to include a standard bearer. (In this case Cross Trainer)

[Druid]

when do we start? I mean, there are some obvious legends out there, but many of us on here are too young to have ever seen those fighters. Can we induct those guys just based on their legend?

Good question and this is a good idea!

[kg0208]

Good question and this is a good idea!

I believe that the initial class should be of fighters from over a 2 decades ago and have only the limitation that they get more than 50% of a vote. Certain guys are in without thought......SRR, Armstrong, Pep, Saddler, etc.

very true some are in with out thought but other we will have to vote

[tays001]

So We Going To Start This

[kg0208]

So We Going To Start This

Which one....for the posters or for fighters?

[tays001]

Which one....for the posters or for fighters?

FOR BOTH

[Boom_Boom]

If ViciousBoxer77 isnt inducted then we know this thing is corrupt

[tays001]

If ViciousBoxer77 isnt inducted then we know this thing is corrupt:rofl :rofl :rofl

[sues2nd]

:rofl :rofl :rofl

[kg0208]

FOR BOTH

Go for it.

You need to figure out how we are going to decide the original class for both.

I think we should do it by weight class.

And for the posters, I think it should be done based on a thread where we ask people to add names to the ballot, then the 10 most names get voted on, then the 5 highest vote totals get in.

[kg0208]

Thoughts?

i think thats pefect you down

[kg0208]

i think thats pefect you down

I'll help you figure it out. The problem is that things about posters tend to get moved to the lounge. Each part of this forum has different posters who post there frequently, kinda screwing with the votes for the General Forum....

yeah your right isn't scar a mod maybe he could ensure that it doesn't get moved:good

Normally if you ask in the original post for it not to get moved, they are pretty good at leaving it be. Remember my post about the anti-american bs....I asked and they left it be.

I am definately down for this..........................:good
