    Just announced--Jones Jr, Toney and Cotto all are going into the hall of fame for 2022. Looks like Tim Bradley, Rafeal Marquez just missed out.

    Pretty much a no brainer for Jones Jr, Toney and Cotto who were all multiple weightclass champions.

    Congrats to all. I can't wait for Jones and Toney to start trash talking each other with a confused Cotton in the middle of them.

    Toney is not HOF worthy sorry, he's more known for his antics than winning high caliber fights.

    Michael Nunn, Mike McCallum, Iran Barkley, Reggie Johnson, Charles Williams, Vassily Jirov, Evander Holyfield etc all disagree with you.

    30 year pro that was never knocked out and won world titles from 160 to heavyweight is absolutely hall fame worthy.

    He is absolutely hall of fame worthy. The one here who isn't on the level of the other two is Cotto, although he's a well-deserved hall of famer regardless.

    All worthy candidates! Those guys were bad mamma jammas back in their heydays, and produced some of the best and memorable nights in boxing history. If anybody disagrees. Theres a famous quote from the Late Roger Mayweather that you should google!;)

    Can't wait to see Bradley wince when they introduce "boxing hall of famer Andre Ward." That's my little bit of sadism for the month. Sorry for him and Rafael though

    Is this like the other HoFs where they have multiple years eligibility?
