  A Closer Look: Are International Boxing Hall of Fame Inductee Election Standards too Liberal?
The IBHOF routinely announces a large class of inductees, which in turn leads to endless debates among critics and fans as to who actually deserves recognition as a hall of famer.
Some would (and have) argued that election of undeserving fighters is no aberration, and even others suspect that there are motivations on the part of the IBHOF to encourage election of boxers of the past whose credentials may be subject to question, outside of their popularity among fans.
Brophy does not rule out the possibility that in the future, amendments of the current process could be made if it appears that there are more qualified boxers are coming up for consideration, or that there are fewer qualified boxers in a given year than the number allotted for induction.

 IBHOF / Henry Armstrong   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
NEARLY EVERY fighter in the IBHOF was a world champion.
But the man known as Henry Armstrong, whose real name was Henry Jackson, is still the only fighter to ever hold world championships in three divisions (featherweight, lightweight and welterweight) simultaneously.
After overcoming alcoholism, Armstrong enjoyed his retirement years, becoming an ordained Baptist minister.

Some of the events and functions that highlight the IBHOF weekend are sights and sounds that a boxing fan will experience nowhere else.
The weekend features open workouts with current fighters which are always thrilling and remind the crowd of just some of the physical challenges that go along with fighting professionally.
Here you can meet all-time Middleweight Great, Carmen Basilio, who has aged into a jolly and bawdy character that lights up a room with his presence; whether he is mugging for a fan’s photo souvenir or helping out at the concession stand serving the world famous sausage and peppers sandwich that bears his name.

But one fighter in particular has not only been kept from the IBHOF, he has not even been nominated to it.
So one has to wonder if the glaring omission from both the IBHOF and its ballots is predicated on De Jesus having died of AIDS.
This will be the first year that I’ll have an official vote in the balloting for the IBHOF.

Lately I am begining to question the I.B.H.O.F. election process.
Danny lost his crown to a legend, Barry lost his to Stevie Cruz who does not have nearly the same stature as a Salvador Sanchez.
Maybe the I.B.H.O.F needs to revise and restructure their election procedure.
