Ok I know the HOF is a very controversial subject. So I purpose a board of HOF and elite decide, maybe yearly or certain amount of months who should get in the HOF. No rules. just if they think someone should get in. Also a vote to take people out the HOF. Because a lot of people have gona against Street, Ashton, Greg as unworthy HOF. There is people that deserve to be in and they could get voted in. It would be better because people who have fought these fighters, experienced their greatness and known these fighters would make better decisions than Mikell who just sees records and titles and that sort of things (unless he has been fighting under a ghost name) It would be more real as well just like the HOF in real sports. I'm not saying this should be mandatory, I just think it would be a good idea to let the fighters decide who is worthy of the most prostigious award in this game.

Its hard to figure out who because each HOFER had to work hard and some got in easy so alot of people think its BS that some got in while others dominated for months and months.
Greg shouldnt be IMO... Right now in ob I dont see alot of dominating people I mean of course Eras arent what they use to be with the so called elites playing now.
During my time we had elites like
Lab,
Sugarray(HE WAS PRIME)
Unstoppable
M.A Barrera
Larry Holmes
SAl
theres a few others i am missing and these are the guys who I looked up to while fighting my way up.
But we also had great gate keepers that where just under the elites.
Godfather
Brotha Lynch Hung
Kid G
Monkey Tail
and the list can go on.(those where the days.)
I also heard before my time that people with a certain amount of wins can get elected but I mean now days u can get tons of wins really never doing nothin.
So like I said its hard to come up with HOF standards.

Keep
Kick
Don't know
Larry Holmes
Fatny
Unstoppable
HTF / NewGuy
Greg Haugen - Although i was not there, I have heard a lot of bad comments about him. Not all at once but bit by bit on the forum and ingame. You could argue it's not my place to decide, that is correct. But i'll just state my opinion and be off.
MA Barrera
StreetBully
Mike Tyson
Salvador Sanchez
Labratory
Ashton
Add:
Nigel Benn - Really, i think he should be in right now. If he has to become superchamp then he will probably become Superchamp. If he's still not in, that's crazy..

Where is the logic in that? Are you trying to say that nobody else should be allowed into the HOF and nobody should be kicked out. Explain, it doesn't make sense to leave it how it is.

Im comfortable leaving it as it is. Every sport has an era, and those that are in the HOF earned the right to be there. I know this is just a game but I dont recall people being kicked out of any sports HOF because if they were around today, they wouldnt be able to compete. At anyrate, the requirements to get into the HOF currently might be tougher because of the level of talent, but I dont think people should be kicked out of the HOF because they cant hang with this generation of fighters.

I always used some guide lines to make my mind up to either let some one in(YEs vote) or not (No vote)
My guide lines arent set in stone it all just depends.

I think the HOF fighters that have been inducted during my time were all legit, except Haugen, but thats just my opinion. Although I do feel that at least one was over-looked bad because of a few HOF'ers personal feelings. With that said the only 2 that i feel should have been HOFers is Jermain Taylor and Tyrant ( I still hate you gay style) as for any HOF'ers at this present time I dont see the talent out there yet. There are a few up and comers that may develop into HOF'ers, but overall the HOF is pretty legit. It should be hard to get in the HOF or else what would it really mean to be inducted.

Hell yeah. JT was beast. His titles history was insane for the amount of fights he had. Had he kept playing he wouldve been HTF level.

Jermain Taylor - JT should have been in a while ago as well. When Jermain Taylor came along, it was similar to when Fatny came. JT came along and jetted to the top, beating the top players, out boxing my gay style at the time, winning titles and remaining at the top and somewhat dominant for a while.
Sugarray - unfortunately he wasn't as dominant as most HOFers were...however I he was the FIRST to unify the major 3 titles then eventually 4 titles to become the first ever Undisputed Champion and the first ever Super Champion of OB. He had a decent run at that as well.
Greg Haugen - was inducted because he was a very-very good fighter who always gave the top fighters a tough fight. He had great skills, won some, lost some. Greg's skills easily matched some of the greats of this game, however he wasn't as consistent as other HOFers and nor was he dominant. Yet, during his prime, he was always in the top mix and held titles. The reasoning and respect Greg earned to make HOF is because he fought at a time where other top fighters and HOFers were at their peak including myself.
I think JT should have been in over a year ago when he played.
In real sports, athletes not only make it in because they are either dominant, but also because they hold records or both. Here To Fight is in because he was dominant. Labratory is in because he was dominant. I think Jermain Taylor was dominant, though not for as long, but just as much so. Sugarray will always hold that record of being the first to unify the titles when more we added. That takes a great level of dominance (be it brief) and skill. We all know it isn't easy unifying the titles.
It is hard for many to pick out of today's bunch. We really do have some very good fighters today. However it has still been Larry and Fatny (both already HOFers) who have STOOD OUT. Now it is Unstoppable (already a HOFer) and Nigel. So with the many great and improved fighters we have today, it is still 3-4 HOFers and only one non HOFer (Nigel) who is standing out.
Jermain Taylor should be recognized. Sugarray should be recognized. And I don't feel Greg Haugen or anyone should be kicked out of the HOF.

I wasn't saying that. Reaper said don't change it, so i asked why because i thought that meant to no more HOF'ers.
By the way, i don't mind if Haugen is in. I'm not saying he sucks, i'm saying i have heard some comments on him. There is also Tyrant saying, "he wasn't as consistent as other HOFers and nor was he dominant" and " he fought at a time where other top fighters and HOFers were at their peak including myself.", the second one doesn't really make sense but i know what he's saying. "Win some lose some" doesn't sound very HOF-worthy either.
go on ray start talking shit - very hypocritical
u pathetic fucking kid - very hypocritical
nob - knows people hate it, so he'll say it
lol - knows people hate it, so he'll say it
like a fool - very hypocritical
- Let's not forget, a smile to provoke more.
Genius, but really strange! How much fun do you get out of being a fake idiot? Just curious (@ the reaper hate club hate club prof etc etc) so don't go saying i'm provoking stuff . (@ reaper) in my spare time i hang out with my friends.. :\
