    Guerrero? Losing to Mayweather doesn't get you into HOF.

    With exception of Guerrero and Cotto I agree with the list. Roy and Toeny ruined their status with their last fights. They should have stopped earlier.

    Based on the comment in this thread, here is an updated list with changes for future HOFer who are CURRENTLY active:

    Roy Jones - tentative (PED allegation)
    Bernard Hopkins
    James Toney - tentative (PED allegation)
    Vlad Klitchko
    Floyd Mayweather
    Manny Pacquaio
    Robert Guerrero
    Miguel Cotto - tentative (loses to all elite fighters)
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Shane Mosley
    Carl Froch - tentative (needs a little more to his resume)
    Timothy Bradley - tentative (needs a little more to his resume)

    List is looking good, everyone on here I see getting into the HOF with 5 years if they retire today. Some comment in the thread have made me add tentative to certain boxer names meaning, if tentative hasn't been added to their name....THEY ARE A LOCK

    I'm still shocked people are excluding Donaire. I think his resume is HOF worthy. I don't think his one loss from Rigondeaux should stop him from getting in.

    I also think Sergio Martinez should be considered as well, whether he wins or loses against Cotto.

    Not a currently active fighter but Rafael Marquez, I think, would likely get in, as well as Israel Vazquez.

    Based on I wins popularity, what they did for the sport,

    Floyd
    Manny
    And bhop are insta locks

    Because of Roy and toney ped allegations they might not get the nod but they both deserve it

    Vitali and woad are both locks for me

    Israel is not active, he retired so he does not qualify. Rafael qualifies because he has NOT officially retired.


    Morales is not retired either so he must be included.

    Based on the comment in this thread, here is an updated list with changes for future HOFer who are CURRENTLY active:

    Roy Jones - tentative (PED allegation)
    Bernard Hopkins
    James Toney - tentative (PED allegation)
    Vlad Klitchko
    Floyd Mayweather
    Manny Pacquaio
    Robert Guerrero
    Miguel Cotto - tentative (loses to all elite fighters)
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Shane Mosley
    Carl Froch - tentative (needs a little more to his resume)
    Timothy Bradley - tentative (needs a little more to his resume)
    Erik Morales
    Rafael Marquez

    These guys on this list will all get in the HOF on the first ballot once they retire officially.

    So you are claiming Froch and Bradley are tentative because they need more on their resume and Cotto is tentative because he loses to all elite fighters but Robert Guerrero is A LOCK? :huh

    Wlad, Evander (I really, really hope he retires), Roy Jones (same, plz retire), Bhop, Froch, Rigo, Floyd, Pac, Martinez, Cotto (I guarantee it, he is incredibly popular and popularity is what gets you in the HOF), Marquez, Ward, these are all the ones I can think of that are 100% in.
