Luis Angel Firpo is further proof, the HOF looooooooves Heavyweights.
He's a very interesting story, but he beat a bunch of gatekeepers and showed up in a famous painting for knocking Dempsey out of the ring early in a fight...and then promptly getting bludgeoned when Dempsey got back in the ring. Probably about a 100 dozen lighter weight fighters deserve getting in the HOF ahead of him. Having said that, it's not a surprise, is mostly a petty argument, and I'm happy for the families of any old-timers who get recognized by the greater public at this late a stage in the game.  It IS the Hall of "FAME"....and he is pretty "famous" within the sport.
