Once they are officially retired, I will throw it up to the board and it will take an 80% vote to get in. Both of these guys will most likely come back, but when they do they have a 50/50 chance of coming back at post-prime. The random retirements at the EOY effect anyone with over 40 fights. First roll is 50/50 chance for all fighters over 40 fights. Once I get that list (there were 14 HW's) then they have a 10+#of fights chance of retiring. Jeffries had a 24% chance (which was the highest and he was the only one to roll it).
Other factors added in are +5% if they are post or end, +5% if they have retired before.
If they are a former champ they have a 60% chance of coming back after a year, 30% after 2, then they are retired. Non former champs are 40-20 on coming back. Only former champs and guys who retire at 10 wins or + above .500 will be eligible for the HOF.
Same formula is used for random post-primes at the EOY also. Random Post-Primes are worse than retirement because once they go post-prime they aren't eligilble for a comeback. Random Post-Primes took out Tom Sharkey this year.
