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.

Well deserved. Besides scoring one of the biggest upsets of all time - a tremendous fighter at his height.

Since Pat posted his ballot, I guess I’ll do the same lol. For better or worse, this is who I voted for the IBHOF class of ‘27.

Great news. Fenech was one of the best and holds a big win over Samart Payakarun- who is in my opinion the best ever all-around fighter.

We need to retroactively begin considering Gene Tunney an Olympic Gold Medalist. The Allied Games were in lieu of the Games due to the War.

Future World Heavyweight Champion Gene Tunney stopped Wolf Larsen in Round 7 of a scheduled 12 at the Pioneer Sporting Club in New York #OnThisDay in 1921. The NY Daily News reported that Tunney "plastered him with everything in the book" and floored his opponent multiple times while dishing out a "severe pasting" before the referee halted the clash to spare Larsen further punishment.

Muhammad Ali on Dempsey, Tunney, and Greb. 1969 Madrid newspaper ABC. "Dempsey, like Tunney, while champ, never faced a number 1 contender. For years, he ran from Harry Wills and would be scared to death whenever someone mentioned light heavyweight Harry Greb.”

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.
