    To the majority of idiots they think this is a contest about whoever headlines tabloids the most. I believe in terms of accomplishments, fighting style, record and skill he definitely belongs there and continues to fight. He might have lost a lot of the attention the majority of clueless idiots judge fighters by after the Judah rematch but has come back pretty well from it and continues to fight. He is a champion right now, I don't understand how that's completely overlooked. For me it's definitely HOF yes.

    Ask these ******s if Micky "Sand bag" Ward belongs in the HOF and watch them vote yes. Hell you will find some that vote ATG too.

    Some of the pro yes posts make good points i think he is in the ball park but needs a few more wins to go over the top

    Spinks is good fighter and i think his style can give the best fits hell i have said for a while id wanna see cory vs floyd

    if he wins a few more big fights he may sneak in

    Possibly but I think he should do a little more. ATG, Hell no but there is probably people in the HOF that have achieved less than him and seeing how the HOF is so distorted maybe he could get in.

    NFW does Ward belong in the Hall either, and I've never even heard someone argue he should be. I've heard the argument for Gatti, and I'm on the fence with him. Still, Gatti arguably has a better resume than Spinks.

    I don't believe so but it might make sense given some of the other names in there.

    Not to start a new argument on here, but for Gatti and Ward, you have to think about the name "Hall of Fame" and consider that it isn't called the "Hall of Winners" or the "Hall of Great Resumes." It's what they contributed to the sport.

    Well he has a strong case, former undisputed WW champ and 154 belt holder and some thought he beat J. Taylor. If he beats a few good names and wins another world title he should definatley get in.

    spinks is a difficult guy to fight but at the end of the day he's the a tier under the top fighters.
