    The likes of Roy Jones Jr, James Toney, Fernando Vargas, Antonio Margarito, Shane Mosley, J'Leon Love and Larry Olubamiwo all have Hall of Fame level accomplishments in boxing. :thumbsup

    However have all been proven to be cheats which puts a huge asterix next to their biggests accomplishments in boxing. :twisted:

    Should this see them exempt from inclusion in the International Boxing Hall of Fame. :think

    I say- yes- there is no room for cheating in the sport. :deal

    Fighters such as Joe Calzaghe, Carl Froch, Kell Brook, Ricky Hatton and Lennox Lewis all have made unbelievable accomplishments without having to become dirty fighters, taking steroids and loading their gloves, and they will only have the same reward as the disgraces mentioned above- which is just not right. :-(

    Term used too loosely.

    None of them are ATG's anyway.

    All time to me is accomplishments that will stand the test of time forever without it being paled into comparison by 100's of other fighters.

    Do you really think in 200 years from now people will even discuss guys such as Mosley and Toney, but they still will probably will be talking about Sugar Ray Robinson and Henry Armstrong.

    Listen here you little ****.

    If you want to comment on my thread, either discuss the thread topic like a grown up or don't comment at all when it's just a boring unfunny comment.

    Hold and hit wicky Hatton made "unbelievable accomplishments without having to become dirty fighter(s),lol:lol::lol::lol::lol::nut? Have you ever even seen him fight? He is easily the filthiest fighter of the last 20 years. His whole offense was grab and punch while holding, as well as maul,elbow and shoulder his opponent to death. And he wasn't adverse to some low blows either. He makes a fellow like Bernard Hopkins, who is an expect in dirty fighting, look like Alexis Arguello. When I saw Hatton and Tszyu "box", I though I was watching an MMA fight. The only thing anywhere near as rotten as Hatton's filth in that fight was Dave Parriss' beyond biased and incompetent performance in that spectacle. I laugh very loud when I hear Hatton's fans complain about Joe Cortez's (not a good ref by any means, but light years better than horrible Parriss) showing in the Mayweather-Hatton match, but have nothing to say about Parriss' ineptitude and bias in Hatton-Tszyu, instead preferring to hail Hatton's "performance". Thanks for the belly laughs:lol::lol::good

    Dirty meaning as in they use loaded pads or PEDs.

    Also please use paragraphs. I got a headache reading that.

    What's soccer?

    It's called football.

    Not what the Yanks call FOOTball when they spend the entire match running about with it in their HANDS.

    You love Netball (or NBA as you like to call it) and Rounders (or baseball as you call it for some reason)

    Oh and by the way, Iraq is a country, not an Apple product so please pronounce it as such.

    Don't need paragraphs. Made my point without them. So, what you're saying is it's not ok for loaded pads use or PEDS(I agree with that), but it's ok for a biased and incompetent ref to allow a filthy fighter to do whatever he wants to in the ring irregardless of the rules?

    Soccer :lol:. What a stupid after school activity that is. Where teams play for ties and guys flop to the ground like they've been shot every other minute. Biggest pansies on the planet. No wonder you love it. :lol:

    Larry Olubamiwo's accomplishments get him a pass, but Roy Jones should not be in HoF

    Not the fighters fault the ref's incompetent is it.

    If the ref's sucks then he shouldn't be allowed in the Hall of Fame.

    Please stick to the discussions raised in the thread.
