Kinda surprised Calderon got in. Lower weight classes, especially back then, don't get a lot of attention/respect. He was very talented but as said could be boring to watch. I had Collazo over Hatton back when I watched it live.
Moorer a HOFer, eh? Well make room in there for Tim Witherspoon who probably has a better resume. Ugh.
Happy for those elected, though. Boxing takes from boxers a helluva lot more than it gives, so to have this distinction (deserved or not) is at least some acknowledgement of their sacrifice.
Dan's article says Michael Moorer boxed from 1998-2008. I'm assuming this is a typo and he meant 1988-2008

Anybody been to Canastota for HOF weekend? Wondering how difficult to get, and pricey, hotel rooms are for that event.
