    on the back of joe c calling it a day,

    i was wondering who you guys think will be considerd truly great 10 years down the line

    no bias, so doesnt matter if you hate the fighter, just analyzing their ;
    records
    level of comp
    achievements

    so how will the new generation of boxing fans see guys like (look at it as if these fighters have retired at this point in their respective careers) ;

    b hop
    roy jones
    mayweather
    hatton
    mosley
    MAB

    Kermit Cintron - Crying arsehole, over-rated power, absolutely no heart - bringing shame on the Puerto Rican nation as a result. No boxing ability, lost all his big fights, did I mention he's a crying ****?

    I think a lot of them will be thought of as legends because not only do we have the fight footage (a downfall for fighters of years bygone), but less will be remembered of who they didn't fight. Someday people will say "Margarito who?" in Mayweather's case, for instance.

    JC, B-Hop, RJJ, May, Sugar Shane, MAB, Pacman & JMM are shoe-in's for the IBHOF.

    The other's less so. Depends what they do in the future.
