    So many legends retired recently gunna be hard to pick who should be the 3 to take the first ballot spots. Let me know if I'm forgetting anyone.

    not a difficult choice tbh. not sure why winky or froch are on this list, toney should probably be there though if we're talking about the 2022 ballot

    Floyd and Roy are shoo-ins, choosing between Wlad and Ward is the tricky bit.
    Leaning towards Ward, may not have dominated his natural division for as long as Wlad did, and his two most important wins may have a * next to them but all said and done I just think the overall quality of the names on his resume makes him more accomplished. SMW was far more talented than HW back then.
    Hopkins is damn unlucky.

    Mayweather and Jones easy. 3rd pick was a tough one between Hopkins, Wlad, and Ward. I chose Hopkins solely due to his incredible feats in his late 40's!

    As others have said, Floyd and RJJ are definitely in, the third place is between Hopkins/Wlad/Ward.

    I went for Wlad out of the three

    I gunna throw in a wild card what if PAC retired this year, surely he would have to be a first ballot. I can't believe they have people like Ray Mancini in there.

    Bradley. The others were all ped cheats except for Froch and maybe Wright, who don't deserve the HOF regardless.

    Hopkins, Mosley, Bradley, Winky, Froch, and Marquez aren't in this class since it goes by the year your last fight was.

    Floyd, Roy, and Wlad are locks for me. Tough break for Cotto, Toney, and the rest of the 2017 retirees. The class is stacked.
