    Toney is borderline.

    And if Froch gets in, I will travel to Canastota and burn the fu*king building down.

    This dude is a moron, most of the guys you mentioned are still in their 20s with many good years ahead of them. **** some of them have not even yet hit their prime. In you ******* view anything that does not involve Pac must be negative.:-(

    We'll agree to disagree about Toney. Froch is one of my favs, but he is borderline. I'd like to see him in though, burnt building or not. The guy has brought some great entertainment to boxing.

    The only place convicted or known PED and steroid cheaters should be inducted into is the hall of shame.

    Jones and Toney are proven drug cheats. No way they belong.

    Based on the comment in this thread, here is an updated list with changes for future HOFer who are CURRENTLY active:

    Roy Jones
    Bernard Hopkins
    James Toney
    Vlad Klitchko
    Floyd Mayweather
    Manny Pacquaio
    Robert Guerrero
    Miguel Cotto
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Shane Mosley
    Carl Froch

    List is looking good, everyone on here I see getting into the HOF with 5 years if they retire today.

    You're the moron. none of them are or will be HOF'ers.

    All have flaws in their boxing game that prevent them from making it.

    Maidana is one of the best guys in that list yet his boxing ability is ranked near the bottom of the list...Just his grit and power brought him so far.

    Imagine what a 26-27 year old Mayweather/Pac even Cotto (who is borderline HOF) would do to these chumps.

    Don't get smart with me *****. :huh What fighter doesn't have flaws in their game, and that includes Mayweather and Pac. These guys are barely half way into their respective career and you already figured out that they lack potential to make the hall of fame. Everyone has bad night and 1 loss doesn't mean the end of someones career. Don't post dumb **** and expect not to get checked fool.

    RJJ

    I don't necessarily believe the Hall of Fame is 100% about how good you are.

    Its about what you have brought to the sport, and Cotto had brought a lot.

    Just look at his resume.

    He has ducked no one, taken his loses, and has given us some great fights.

    IMO he is HOF worthy.

    But the Ghost? Really?!

    Exactly. He's HOF.

    I would also toss Winky Wright in there. I think he will sneak in eventually.
