    Gatti got in purely because of his popularity, nothing more (well, maybe his premature death helped too). If we start talking about accomplishments, we could count about a 100 fighters that deserved it ahead of Gatti (and Vargas for that matter), but what can you do.

    Vargas ain't getting in simply because he was a solid champ but never proved himself truly elite, and he was ruined too early in his career by Tito to have put together a great reign or resume. Also, while popular in his day, he wasn't on Gatti's level, so he ain't getting bye in that way.

    I had Vargas-Winky a draw, giving every close round to Vargas.
