NEW MEMBERS OF THE TRACTORPULL HALL OF FAME.


Its been two years since we have had inductions to the Hall OF Fame. For new readers, the requirements for the Hall of Fame are as follows. A minimum of 100 fights. This shows durability and the ability to be an attractive opponent over a number of years. At present, it would take a fighter a minimum of ten years to get 100 fights. The candidates must have a win/loss percentage of at least 60%. The figure is not ours, but Sim’s, who years ago said a 60% win ratio was “outstanding” Quality of fighter’s opponents can be judged by the number of titles held or the number of title fights. The combination of 100 fights and a 60% win ratio severely restricts entry into the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame, however, is not meant for good fighters but the outstanding ones

THE NEW MEMBERS

KAYLE CUCUO. Just completed her 100th fight with her 62nd win, winning a decision over another Hall OF Fame member. That win obviously give her a 62% win ratio. She has had titles in two divisions holding one unified bantamweight title and three unified lightweight titles. She started out under Bell Sports and moved to Medallion when Bell Sports went out of business. She has a 40% KO to fights ratio and a 65% KO to wins ratio, both quite high

NATALIE PORTMAN Could have been inducted earlier but we waited until Cuoco qualified. We didn’t want to do a single induction. She has now had 103 fights with 63 wins with two draws giving her a 62% win ratio. This 33 year old flyweight has held 27 title belts consisting of nine unified flyweight titles. She is presently in her third stable, HISC, after her first two stables folded. Not known for power. she is a boxer’s boxer. Most of her win have been by decision and/or by TKO’s

For those new readers, every time a fighter wins a unified title, she is credited with three belts. Each weight division contains three sections. Back in the early days of the FCBA those divisions were important. A fighter had to win all three divisions to have a unified title. Over a period of years the division titles morphs into the unified title. Now about the only time you will see the division titles used is when a title becomes vacant which is a rarity these days

There has been some criticism that we are electing members of the Hall too early. We now have seventeen members. Members have fought well past their prime to a point they lose most of their fights. yet no member has fallen beneath the 60% win ratio

THE STABLES

HISC. Of the seventeen fighters now in the Tractorpull Hall Of Fame, Mr Hawkeye has been instrumental in the careers of six. It was under HISC that Britney Spears first gained attention. It was in HISC that Jennifer Garner had her glory years. Eliza Dushku and Claire Danes are or were home grown. In 2004, he obtained Michelle Williams from TE and in 2011 he signed Natalie Portman

TE Never had more than four fighters in the stable but three are in the Hall of Fame. Michelle Williams, Danielle Fishel and Catherine Bell

KIM’S KRUZHERZ Theron and Liu were home grown. Bell was added late in the stables existence. When the KruZherZ folded, Theron retired and then joined THE ACADEMY

BELL SPORTS- O’Dell was home grown and Spears had good years there

FOXFIRE The present home of Jennifer Garner and Danielle Fishel

HOUR GLASS. Britney Spear’s alleged stable

FRONT STREET Neve Campbell’s present stable. Spears also works here and Biel does some training at the Front Street Gym 

EMPIRE Jamie Pressly fights under the Empire colors

TECH UNLIMITED- Developed Jessica Biel

MEDALLION- Beil and Dushku are members of this stable as well as Ms Cuoco’s

JERI’S KNOCKOUTS. Home of Ali Landry since 2011

WEIGHT CLASS MAKEUP

Flyweights—4
Bantamweights-6
Lightweights-6
Welterweights-1



The Hall OF Fame is an exclusive club on its way to be more exclusive. A fighter breaking in today has little hope of gaining the Hall Of Fame. It will take most 15 years to get enough fights to become eligible, not considering the win ratio. We will not however reduce the requirements for the Hall.
