    He is two or wad it three time paper belt holder... and i enjoy watching him but he really hasnt archieve much.

    Tomasz adamek has done more than froch.

    Guerrero?

    You just throw in any old name to make it seem contentious?

    To those saying Calzaghe and ODLH, they are all ready in the HOF!

    This whole thread is obviously just a troll on the Guerrero inclusion, but interesting anyway.

    Quite a few guys who you get the feeling could be in the reckoning in a few years time. Rigo, Canelo, Bradley, Golovkin and Ward all seem well placed for possible consideration in the future. Possibly Kovalev if he keeps demolishing his opposition.

    Quite surprised Martinez is not getting more mentions here. I'm pretty sure he could retire now and be a good candidate.

    Adamek is a stretch....what has he done that is of relevance in his boxing career.

    He is a good ticket seller so "maybe"

    I agree with Cotto being borderline, and Guerrero having no chance, but Toney is a sure HOF fighter.

    Carl Froch's HOF credentials are somewhere clearly behind Nonito Donaire and Chad Dawson's... just to put that in perspective.

    Pongsaklek Wonjongkam is still, unfortunately, fighting so he certainly deserves to make the list (top 10 Flyweight ever!).

    Pongsaklek definately deserves to be on this list....I think he will get in on the first vote.

    I'm really impressed with Froch but Donaire is not impressive...he wouldn't be going into the HOF.

    Here is the thing..

    Andre Ward beat Carl Froch but Froch is a bonafide HOFer when he retires and Ward is not.

    It crazy, Ward will always beat Froch 100 times out of 100 but yet he isn't a bonafide HOFer.

    Ward is a Olympic gold medalist, hasn't lost since he was 14 year old, is the consensus # 2 P4P, won the Super SIX and is currently undefeated and yet...if we had to vote for him in the HOF right now he would not get in and Froch would.


    It just goes to show you that it not who you beaten but what you've done in your body of work


    Ward does not belong on the below list of the following active boxer who are first ballot HOF the minute they retire.

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


    Ward does not belong on the above list and that unfortunate
