    RJJ tested positive once for a substance that helped injury recovery,not performance enhancement.His opponent was positive for the same substance in that fight.He never tested positive before as has not since.

    Brickhaus,I was saddened to read that Tommy is still active.I just hope he doesn't fight ever again.He has nothing to prove to anyone.

    Jones, Hopkins, Floyd, Mosley, DLH, Manny, Holy, Marquez, Morales, MAB, Calzaghe, Tito are all locks for the HOF.

    James Toney will probably get in too... but he's not a total lock.

    Tszyu, and Tyson are locks. Those two should be getting in within another year or two I would think.

    Winky Wright is a bit iffy. I think he deserves to make it, but I dunno if he will.

    Cotto has a very good chance of making it with a few more good wins. I think IF he fights Pac and wins, he'll be a lock.

    Hatton shouldnt make it IMO, but he probably will.

    same say hatton shouldn't get in, I think he has a very strong case

    2 division champ, lineal champ for 4 years at 140 which is a long reign for his era, Tszyu win along with solid, but not great wins....one of teh best 140 fighters for his era....45-2, with his 2 defeats to floyd mayweather and manny pacquiao.....I think Hatton is a Hall of Famer.....

    and his unique fan base, of being the ambassador of british boxing for his era.

    I think he will get in due to more so being a British fighter.

    If he was American he wouldnt get in i feel.

    These guys should be going no matter what.

    Tyson
    Holyfield
    Barrera
    Jones Jr
    Dela Hoya
    Mosley
    Calzaghe
    Pacquiao
    Hopkins
    Morales
    Tszyu
    Trinidad
    Marquez

    Now there are a few fighters that for me on the fringe.

    Casamayor
    Winky
    Toney
    Hatton
    Cotto Still a bit to go but could get there.

    Toney will definitely get in. More of a certainty than someone like Tszyu. His weight jumping and longevity ensure it.

    2 division champ?Collazo was the weakest welter champ and was robbed against Hatton.Hatton was holding on for dear life at the end of that one.Lineal champ in a division that without Cotto was very weak.Pauli Malignaggi was #2 ranked in that division.Crap.You say it yourself:Tszyu win along with solid,not great wins.You yourself nailed it.Not a Hall of Fame resume.45-2 against so-so opposition.He was hammered far,far,far worse by Mayweather and Manny than fellows like Barrera,Morales and even someone like Judah.His accomplishments are definitely not Hall of Fame.What,you want to make a special section in the Hall for his "unique fan base"?He does not belong according to his accomplishments,but probably will get in because of his popularity.What a shame.

    Mosley, RJJ and Toney are all cheaters and shouldn't be HOFers, IMO.
