    I actually thought for some reason Dariusz was in the HOF :thinking:. Regarding Virgil though, there but for the fact that he sandwiched a single loss between 2 double digit reigns, that loss being against a HOF'er and ATG, he would've had a 21 fight LHW title reign, he definitely more than earned his position there.

    Original question:

    Gatti
    Bradley
    Moorer

    There are so many guys that aren't in the HOF that should be over them................Genero Hernandez for example

    Gatti, Pazienza, and Mancini IMO.

    I would replace them with Dariusz Michalczewski, Meldrick Taylor, Gilberto Roman, Israel Vazquez, Wilfredo Vazquez, Miguel Lora, Santos Laciar, Yuri Arbachakov, Genaro Hernandez, Chris John, Antonio Tarver, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, Sung Kil Moon, or Sot Chitalada.

    I'm not taking respect away from anyone; that is definitely not my intention. I'm just wondering where people think the line should be drawn.

    Probably Gatti, Tim Bradley, and Vinny Paz. All of them achieved a hell of a lot, but I think there needs to be a smaller pool for the HOF to choose from. I think there should only be a couple of inductees per year, reserved for the absolute elite, but it's interesting to see what other people think about the achievements that warrant induction and where they draw their own line.

    Then the HOF loses all meaning. It becomes a medal-for-all, kudos-for-participating circus. Everybody respects fighters but there's a difference between respect and special acknowledgement.

    A man with two brain cells can see that Wilile Pep was a greater featherweight than Barry Mcguigan. Now, is that unjust criticism from this arm-chair nobody or, rather, is it as close to fact as an opinion can get?

    Wherever the bar is - recent inductees have increased an already strong suspicion - it is being lowered every year.
