Armstong, Pep, Louis, Greb, and Ketchel would be my five posthumous choices but I am sure all ten will be in eventually. Among the living nominees, I'm pulling for Tony Lopez. Johnny Tapia, Timmy Witherspoon, Terry Norris, and Daniel Zaragoza. If you guys vote in John Mugabi, are you sure he can make it? I don't even know if Uganda even has an Airlines

Alex Ramos- should be in every hall of fame for what he has done for the sport outside the ring. He career was decent, but that is secondary to his true calling.

Bobby Czyz-Multiple world champ in two divisions. Fought from Middleweight to Heavyweight. Showtime announcer
Buddy McGirt-World Champion fighter and Trainer
Virgil Hill-Olympian,Multiple world champion, huge number of title defenses
post:
Henry Armstrong- simply the best Jack Johnson-unbelieveable champion and news maker. Before his time Willie Pep Harry Greb Joe Louis

Alex is a great guy! When he sees me...he always yells.... BILLY C.... and then doesn't stop! One time I was doing an interview during a press conf...off to the side when they were still up there...and then all of a sudden, over everything...I hear Alex say....BILLY C.... and then everyone looks at me....like I caused the disruption! The funny thing was....I couldn't even see where he was!

The funny thing was....I couldn't even see where he was! thats Alex alright. Same here, when I see him at the fights he is always screaming, "Dave Wilcox" once he sees you , you need to set aside some time to talk to him for a long while. and I always gladly do..great dude. He and Jacquie are awesome

I finally met Jackie a month or so ago...the last time I saw Alex. All the other times he was either alone or with Sue fox. Alex is a great guy. As long as I can sit down...and have a few scotches....I can talk to him for hours! He knows his stuff and comes from an era when everyone really DID have to fight everyone.
