    IMO a strong class. W. Klitschko, Mayweather, and Ward. Three top pound per pound champions making the HOF on their first try.

    James Toney will get in one year, but not with this class.

    Fans of women's boxing should check out Ann Wolf, one tough mean looking lady!

      Freddie Brown should have been inducted long ago. He spent as much time training Duran as Arcel did.

        They inducted him as a cut man, and he was that. But like you said he was a trainer too, partly overshadowed by Ray Arcel.

        " With the classic features of a scowling ex-pug - dented nose, cauliflower ears, gnarled hands and misshaped knuckles - Freddie Brown had the kind of face only a mother could love. Brown was born on Manhattan's Lower East Side in 1907. He fought as an amateur before becoming a cornerman. This most distinguished of cut men worked the corners of heavyweights Abe Simon, Bob Pastor and Larry Holmes; Nigerian middle and light-heavyweight champion **** Tiger; and middleweight titlists Rocky Graziano and Vito Antuofermo. Brown was co-trainer with Ray Arcel of the legendary Roberto Duran. Freddie was cut man to that champ's champ and one of the game's great bleeders: Rocky Marciano. Freddie Brown's star turn was the repair job he did on Rocky's nose - which was "ripped lengthwise" by an Ezzard Charles punch - in 1954. After Duran's shocking "No mas!" against Sugar Ray Leonard in 1980, a heartbroken, disbelieving Freddie Brown retired from the sport of boxing"

            Back in his day they used a type of cement to stop serious cuts. It has since been banned. Once the fight was over it had to be carved off (ouch!) so the wound could be properly stitched. You'll notice a lot of scar tissue on some fighters who had this sort of coagulant applied during fights.

                Yes, not only that but he was an inconsistent performer

                  I think, he'll be voted in next year - along with Roy Jones and (possibly) Cotto.

                    No ****? I had been told a plaster.

                    Either way, did it have more flex and stuff like that then we're used to or is it some **** that's crack and crumble soon as it's hit?
