Did Martinez do enough to get into the Hall of Fame?

NO

The Hall of Fame SHOULD be for fighters in which, you could not tell the history of the sport WITHOUT mentioning the individual....

I don't think Sergio's career was great or decorated to that point....

It's the HALL of FAME people.....

 

no, resume a little thin.

 

i thought he was elevated from interim just before williams

 

ESB - Where EVERYONE gets into the HALL of FAME

 

:rofl

 

I think that is more a question of why did Gatti get in. I loved him as a fighter, but other guys deserved to get in over him. Am I right or wrong? I loved his spirit of fighting. But Sergio losing to Cotto sort of sealed it. I don't think he goes in the HOF unless he beats someone significant and wins another title.

 

Gatti got in for his popularity and excitement.

I think it's a given that many other fighters deserve to be in the IBHOF over Gatti based on skills and ring accomplishments.

 

I understand why. But the thread was about that. I loved Gatti and he came to fight. I am split as to if he should have been in. I don't know, but Martinez should not make it in the HOF with what he has done now.

 

The Hall of Fame has a much lower bar than we give it on this forum.

 

Yeah, he will get in as the first homo***ual champion in boxing. That's his only way in.:yep

 

Oh come on, let's not forget the Mighty Maricon, Emile Griffith (RIP)

 

I don't feel that either Gatti or Martinez should be in.

Martinez to me was a good fighter in a weak era. Not a HOFer in either resume/achievements nor abilities.

 

Not enough to get into it. If he could make a great comeback after his latest KO loss, then I might think otherwise.

 

Hell NO!

 

He certainly did enough to get into the International s exy Hall of Fame.

/Swoon!
