Currently active fighters that belong in the HOF

cotto is no doubt imo.

floyd
bhop
wlad
jmm
pac

guys like ward,froch, and canelo when all said n done i think can get in there

 

Klitschko say what you want about them but they have dominated the HW division longer then most.

 

Pongseklek Wonjogkam also will likely get in

 

Tim Bradley could potentially be a hall of famer in the future.

But not at this very moment . Hes needs to get out of Mannys shawdow because whenever his name comes up , automatically everyone thinks .

"He lost to Pacquiao twice"

Bradley needs to start making noise again . Perhaps move back down to 140 or move up to 154 and win some belts .

Donaire was on his way before he ran into Rigo. Funny how one match can change everything in boxing.

 

Bradley and Donaire seem to be on the right path and not far off as it is...

Recently retired fighters of the last year or two who deserve to make it:
-Pongsaklek Wonjongkam
-Ivan Calderon
-Chris John

 

Nice list on the recently retired. I'm a little on the fence with Chris JOhn though- he stayed sequestered in his home country for >90% of his fights. I only think he fought a few times in the States, and both were against Rocky Juarez if I'm not mistaken.

His biggest win was against JMM and Juarez. I'm 50/50 on him getting in due to lack of good competition, but he was a very long standing title holder at FW.

1st Ballot guys:
Jones Jr.
Hopkins
Wladimir
FLoyd
Manny
JMM
Cotto
Martinez

Guys close to getting in with just a few more fights:

Ward and Bradley


There's a bunch of up and comers, too many to list, that all have a good shot if they continue taking on good competition and keep winning. Guys like Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, Canelo/Lara, etc. It's a long list of good-very good fighters.

 

Guerrero? That guy never was even top 10. He is not a very good fighter. A solid fighter, but hardly championship quality. What is that about putting him in the HOF?

 

Vladimir Klitschko

 

How is James Toney borderline? He's brilliant defensively and the best counter-puncher of all time. His resume is stacked and he's destroyed a LOT of top guys along the way. If anyone's a lock on any list it should be Toney.

 

Tested positive for PED's.

His list of good opponents beaten isn't all that deep.

He is a clear HOF'er on paper in my view, depending on where you stand with the PED thang. But because of that, and the fact that he is def not any sort of legend of the ring, I don't think someone is crazy for not thinking Toney is a HOF'er. He is well below many current "active" guys, that's for sure.

 

Please explain the Guerrero choice. I'm sure you're aware that he's overwhelmingly been the person people disagree with. I don't think he's close to the HOF.
