if they retired today would they make the hall of fame?

    Clottey, Juday, Malignaggi, Quintana, Branco, Urkal, Pinto, Corley, etc..

    Cotto's resume is as good as it could have been. He fought everyone.

    Is he HOF? Not sure on that, but his resume is just as good as anyone else on the list.

    A lot of these fighters were handed there first loss by Cotto, or went on to become world champs.

    I find it amazing how K bros can't get in with you guys. My question would be...For those that don't think there HOF who the hell can they beat to get in it?!! There's nobody left for them to fight. Even if they beat David Haye...Your just going to hear how they beat up a blown up CW!
    I think if the brothers hold all the titles at once they should be HOF for that alone. Who else held all the titles with there brother? Regardless I think they both deserve too. V Klit has beaten everyone put infront of him, and has one of the highest KO percentages. Vitali never has been KO'd, never knocked down, never legitimately lost a fight (one was an injury, and the other the ref stopped even though he was still fighting HARD). Even in that loss he did something nobody has ever done...Retire Lennox Lewis. Wlad has many KO's himself, and good wins...The only thing that discredits him is his losses. People are so biased.

    Uhm that is my list of DOUBTFUL. Read it again. "They NEED more than a good winning percentage."

    Regarding Cotto, he is an HoFer in my opinion. Another good win or two will guarantee him first round. Currently, he is likely to get in after first ballot.

    Just put all the names down who i thought had a shot at the moment whether they had already achieved enough to do so or had the potential to do so.

    I didnt put in people with potential with hardley any fights though and i didnt put any active fighters whose career was practically finish (jones jnr, holyfield) apart from bhop.

    i only put certs like pac, hop and mayweather in to see if anyone didnt think they deserved to go in and why.

    IMO the highlighted part needs a little more work to get a spot in the HOF

    Cotto, John, Haye, Pavlik, and Williams need more, but the rest are all in as far as I'm concerned.

    Agree with the sentiment behind this. The Klitschkos deserve to be in the hall of fame.
