    i think he could.

    his career before the Rigondeaux fight should be good enough to get in.

    what do you think?

    He had a size advantage over most of the non descriptors he beat and was often lazy and left hook happy. Probably if he had beaten Rigo and Walter , but he was mangled by the both of them so , NO.

    Of course, Nonito has a stellar resume and HOF worthy accomplishments. For almost a decade he was the best boxer below featherweight.

    Of course. Both he and Darchinyan are Hall of Fame worthy fighters. Donaire has become highly underrated these days but he's had a dominant career before running into Rigondeaux. It's a shame that his later losses have been overshadowing his overall excellent resume.

    I know you meant it as a joke but this borderline racial abuse.

    He is implying Filipino who migrate overseas as janitors/ low level paying jobs.

    I'm actually surprised this is a question. There's so many old timers that shouldn't ever smell the HOF, Nonito ain't one of them, he's s first ballot HOFer...

    Not only is he a HOF'er, he is one of the better fighters of the young century thus far.
