Which of these boxers deserve to be inducted into the HOF?

Toney is a lock, despite his inconsistency and PED issues.

Cotto is borderline. Personally I wouldn't have him in there, but a long career of being very good and picking up multiple titles will probably get him the nod.

Jones is a no-brainer.

Vitali will obviously get in via the heavyweight rule. His resume is very weak for a Hall of Fame fighter though.

Mosley is a lock.

Froch won't unless he beats Ward. If he does beat Ward he has a chance.

Judah briefly held the 147 championship, which is noteworthy alongside some good wins at 140. There are too many losses in big fights though to make a serious case.

Whether Haye gets in will be based on his accomplishments at heavyweight. He certainly shouldn't based on what he has achieved so far.

Very few votes for Tarver, but he has a better shout than most give him credit. Decisive wins over ATGs can sometimes count for more than racking up alphabet defences. He was the first man to authentically beat Jones, won the Ring 175 title, and beat several good fighters in addition to Jones - Harding, Reggie Johnson, Griffin, Glen Johnson and Woods. It's a decent shout all said and done.

Other than wins over a faded Tarver and an ancient Hopkins, there isn't much in Dawson's career that stands out. It would take a major reversal of fortune following his last two losses for him to be in HOF contention.

 

:-(

 

People that exclude Vitali amaze me. You don't have to like the guy but be a minimum objective. Moreover it is obvious that Vitali will be included as a first ballot.

 

The hall of FAME.

All of 'em.

 

What hs Vitali done to get in exactly? Tko6 and throwing in the towel against Byrd are the highlights of his career. He never beat the top man in his division ever.
He wont ever be inducted. People got no standards anymore.

Pacman is a lock and he's not even on the list. Vitali ?lmao. Cut me a break please.

 

Marquez and Morales should also be up there.

Dawson? haha

 

you are delusional. If you think that he don't deserve it I'm ok with that it's your opinion. But he will be inducted as a fist ballot, it's how the politics work. He has been a dominant HW champion with solid record he is already in the HOF.

 

technically the Spinks bros did it first, Wlad and Vitali are the only ones to hold it at the same time but yes both get in, especially Wlad

 

Cant do Mosley.......he hasnt won a fight sine the roid suspension.

Zab was always just Blevel.

Time will tell with Haye.

Tarver is garbage who just happens to be able to beat certain top level guys.

Dawson has the resume, but he needs to put an exclamation point on his career.....even if it's just beating Blevel guys and journeymen.:think

 

Haye isn't a HOF. he needs to do a lot more than he has. a win over Wlad would do it.

Haye still has time to make things happen. it's entirely up to him. can't really see it though.

 

Good correction. :good

 

Is there an International Flopping Hall of Fame? Because Haye's a first-ballot inductee for sure.

 

Jones, Toney and the Klits are already 100% sure things, and this isnt up for voting. Jones was the damn fighter of the decade (90s) - the TS is a moron for involving him in this discussion.

 

Second longest HW championship reign in history. He is already in HOF.
