Gennady Golovkin, Antonio Tarver, Nigel Benn inducted to IBHOF

Golovkin, Tarver, Benn elected to boxing's HOF

 

Goddamn its a shitty month for the Eubanks.

 

How in fuck does benn get in and eubankS doesn't?

 

The HOF is filled with how the fucks.

 

Because His Son Kicked Eubanks' Son's Ass, That's How...

Fightbeat should have it's own HOF.

If you have mandatory induction numbers it won't be long before everyone whose ever made a post will make it in.

 

The stipulation in the 2nd match mandated that the father of the winner gets in the Hall

 

If they read the next paragraph they would have found out they're going to get in anyway.

 

Seriously though, I dont care much for Eubank Senior, but he belongs in the Hall. But fucckkkk, a lot of guys do, who still arent in.

Yet another year that Meldrick Taylor didn't make it...

 

Antonio Tarver is probably somewhere celebrating in Len Bias fashion.

 

Does he really belongs in the hall? Whats his biggest wins, a green Benn or watson? Sure as hell ain't the biggest omission.

Benn himself shouldn't be in, but we all know by now that the most important criteria for getting inducted is being popular

 

It's called the Hall of "Fame".... not the Hall of "Good"

 

Yeah, Benn and Eubanks should both be in. They were absolute superstars in the UK during the early 1990s and their fights were literally watched by millions and millions of viewers.

I know JOM doesn't rate Eubanks much, but if the criteria is 'fame', he's an absolute lock imo.

Benn wasn't "green" in their first fight. He was coming off of stopping Barkley and Dewitt, his two best performances. Especially the Dewitt fight -- that was easily the best version of Benn.

Eubank beat a peak Benn.

 

The frog calling the limey green is the new pot calling the kettle black

 

AgREED. That was definitely Eubanks best win, along with the miracle come from behind Watson KO, which he somehow pulled out despite losing every second of every round.

MTF

 

The following lower weight class guys need to be in the Hall. Theres many more, but these are just the immediate who come to mind:

Lionel Rose: The biggest lower weight class omission imo.
Happy Lora
Gilberto Roman
Jiro Watanabe
Sung Kil Moon
Santos Laciar
Yuri Arbachakov

 

Gilberto Roman vs Bam Rodriguez would be the best all-Mexican 115 match-up ever.

 

What about 4 division champ Legendary Leo Torito Gamez

 

He was green tactically. He was always going all out and draining his energy after a few rounds. Was a much more intelligent fighter later on

 

Eubank Sr is a curious case. The guy seems to be regressing, psychologically, becoming more childish......

 

You cant discount CTE.

 

He's Either the Gayest STRAIGHT Guy Ever or the Straightest GAY Guy Ever...Not Sure of Which...



REED

 

I would think he has borderline personality disorder with narcissistic traits. Eubanks jr is not exactly likeable, but can't imagine it was easy growing up with that.

 

With That Said, One of the Cooler BOXING MOMENTS of 2025 Was When Eubank Jr’s Vehicle Pulls Up to the 1st Benn Fight and There Sr. Is, Unexpectedly Chilling w/Him.

REED Has Always Been Indifferent About BOTH Eubanks’, But That was QUITE the Moment Indeed.
