    I agree with the point.

    Why do you think this is the case?

    We know its not prevalent only in boxing's HOF. My thoughts lead me towards a sociological view: A modern day tendency for over-glorification. Attention and praise puzzlingly given for benchmark accomplishments or even mediocrity.

    err... I think he fought some top notch guys though, and won titles that actually were worth something, and mattered.

    It's not necessarily that you need big names, but it's also your overall career achievements. Tszyu was a long-time champ at 140 and unified the division. The biggest name on Eusebio Pedroza's ledger is an aged Ruben Olivares for instance, but he's a deserving HOFer.

    The Hall of Fame has been greatly cheapened by having a piece of dung like Jose Suliaman in there.
