Why is the Hall of fame such a disgrace ???

First topic message reminder :

Haven't they got knowledgeable Boxing people running the damn thing.....

Barry Mcguigan in......Lloyd Honeyghan not in...Excuse me but didn't he beat the p4p no 1 and future champion Maurice Blocker as well as winning the title back after he lost it!! Mcguigan beat an old man in Eusebio and albeit he beat a quality Taylor his record doesn't compare..

Daniel Zaragoza??? Yes Daniel Zaragoza in .....and the only number 1 p4p fighter not to be inducted Donald Curry out...A guy that cleaned out the welters taking Starling twice, Mccrory, Larocca and unifying the title....Zaragoza actually lost to Paul Banke...and believe me that takes some doing..

I could go on but best to let you go to the modern link on the hall of fame page to see the discrepancies..

Hall of fame is just a disgrace and should be scrapped..

My opinion is that all sports should be under the guidance of WADA without fail. Didnt RJJ take it in 2002?

He did but even prior to 2003 it was on the prohibited list

I didn't know that. Mark McGuire was open about his use of it in the late 1990s.

That's because Baseball doesn't implement the WADA code

And neither does boxing. Both should. I support the idea that boxing should be a regulated as athletics in terms of drug use. A minimum of 2yrs ban regardless of how it got there.

Under the rules of the WBC and WBA Jones didn't do anything wrong and the IBF pretty much turned a blind eye to it

Thats the problem with boxing. Those who make the money get a free pass.

Safe to assume that Richard Hill would have been banned were it not for Jones

It's the same for all Sport..........However over here loser pays which means if you have a good case you can kind of expect to be reimbursed and your court costs covered..

In the US you need money to take somebody to Court hence poor people get screwed...

The alphabet boys probably can't be bothered losing bucks.....

Christie and Higgins got off lightly. The organisations were worried they'd lose.
