    Of course in my opinion with wins against

    Winky wright
    Prime margarito
    Prime serg
    And being ducked by everyone from 147-154

    Paul Williams is someone who will never be in the HoF but should be in it

    Take Guerrero off that list

    He has done f''k all to be on there

    The rest are locks


    Bhop
    Roy
    Manny
    Floyd

    Are all 1st ballot HOFers who are going into ATG status

    Oscar and Shane are 1st ballot HOFers also
    Arguably ATGs

    I don't know where to put calzaghe
    He didn't lose
    But he didn't beat anyone of note until near the end of his career
    Easy HOFer but who. Knows what else

    No Bradley is not HOF yet. People have a few wins and they are HOF. Cotto has a great career but hasn't he lost to all the good guys he ever fought? I mean really? Judah? The guy has always been flawed and hot and cold. A win over Zab doesn't get Cotto in the Hall of Fame. Have you seen the guys in the Hall of Fame? Many guys are not in yet. Donald Curry never made it in, and he had some great wins and was on top of boxing at one time.

    How can froch be in the HOF with losses to Kessler and ward

    When ward cleared out the division
    And destroyed Kessler and froch
    And hasn't looked close to losing to anyone
    Is a P4p king and dominates

    Ward has to be in it

    And Bradley's resume means he also had to be in it

    If a bum like gatti is in the HOF than anyone could get in

    Bums like ken norton are in?.

    Who the **** makes this joke list

    And of course having rocky in there takes away any credibility it ever had

    The HOF is a joke

    Why remove Guerrero?......My list is for ACTIVE boxers hence why Calzaghe and Oscar are not on it and Guerrero is on it.

    froch beat decent fighters in abraham,pascal,dirrel, ruined a bute who everyone rid on for a few years.
    ko'd a very good fighter in jermain taylor.
    close 1st fight with mikel kessler and beat him quite handily in the rematch.
    and then soundly beaten by a possible future ATG in ward.

    if u guys are underating him now because he got beat up a bit by a fresh quality boxer in groves, than your as fickle as a feather in the wind. if he goes onto defeat groves in the rematch than you will probably say hes worthy.
