    Not yet, but if he continues his current form he could definitely get there. Beating Chocolatito in impressive fashion next then he'd be starting make a decent case.

    Not yet, but he's about where he should be at this stage of his career if he wants to be there someday.

    He's getting better and better and he's fun to watch too.

    He is a great American champion and has made a fantastic comeback, but he is nowhere near a hall of famer.

    Viloria has a very good, bordering on excellent resume. I don't think he's a definite HOFer yet, but he's probably only 2 or 3 more top wins away from it being a certainty. Roman Gonzalez would be one, if he moves up from 108, and he has already fought a couple times above that weight. Within the flyweight division, probably the best fight Viloria could make would be to avenge his prior loss to Edgar Sosa, who is as big a name as anyone else in that division.

    you are confusing citizenship (which can be changed at will, like diaper) and lineage (which is thru birth).

    too complex for royal tea bag. you need to illustrate it using stick figures.
