    Young Klit
    Haye
    Pavlik
    Williams


    are all doubtful first round HoF. They need more than a good winning percentage.

    First 5 and BHop are guaranteed in.

    Agree on all counts... and maybe add Chris John to that list.

    All those in bold are for me guaranteed first ballot entries.

    The others need to do more.

    :good I agree with you regarding your choices, but I personally consider Vitali a definite first ballot entry and I also believe that Cotto will also end up in the hof.

    hmm I've been wondering with for a while, will Cotto be a hall of famer? In my opinion he should be considering he fought the best and has a a lot of impressive wins. any thoughts?

    Someone with 20 fights and no good wins is worthy of the HOF?

    I wouldn't say he is, to be honest.

    Granted he is a three time champ, but one of those reigns was the WBO..... and he is best known for a loss to Lewis.

    His resume is pretty bad for a HOF'er IMO, though that isn't all his fault in fairness.

    Cotto will probably get in based on his achievements to date.... by the time he packs in I'd expect a few very good names to be added to his slate.
