My USPS stamp proposal for Barney Ross is under review. World champion. WWII Hero. His story deserves to be remembered in more than just boxing circles. I made a mock stamp of what it could look like. Check it.

I don't think Israel Vasquez should be voted into IBHOF, I feel the committee or whatever controls the HOF, should simply induct him & I think this approach should be used for fighters who have the merit but are in poor health instead of wasting time.

Besides Luis Firpo, not many could make Rocky Marciano's hands look small. Before armored trucks became widespread, one of Firpo's early jobs was delivering the daily deposits from stores to the local bank. He reputedly worked alone and without a weapon.

McCallum boxed like Hank Aaron played outfield. Willie Mays was flashier, but Aaron got the job done.

Don't leave out Jaime Rios. 5 foot tall ring marvel whose eye sight was so bad, they didn't let him drive. Style was part Emmanual Augustus-part Wilfred Benitez.

I finished mopping up on all the WBA-WBC era (1963-1983) world champions today. I've got about 50 files stocked up waiting to be posted. All the names in yellow didn't make the 3 notable wins requirement and will not be posted. Unless you want me to do a thread of them.

And it was just a slobber knocker of a fight. Just two young, tough, talented contenders battling it out.

This would’ve been for a title if they fought today.

Respectfully, I can give you 10 guys on the ballot who were rarely on American tv in any context.

In reality, many guys on the ballot were not widely available to see in their day. Voters should do research. And many voters are actually younger than the actually fights/fights you are discussing. The conversations around this should be fair.
