    He's had so many great fights but did not have a good ending to his career with back to back kos and complete domination but does he belong in the hall of fame?

    I have no doubt he'll get in, despite him being so mediocre against any decent opponent.

    Yes, he brought boxing back to Atlantic City and made for some of the most exciting fights in recent vintage.

    Yes, but not based on achievements. He had some great fights (Ward, Robinson, etc) and did a lot for boxing.

    If Barry MacGuigan gets in, then so does Gatti.

    That's inappropriate. Uncalled for and not nice...

    It's true, but you could have found a nicer way to say it.

    He lacks the achievments but he'll probably get it in regardless.
