    Yes.
    His AM record, Medal + his World championships.
    He should get in first ballot style.

    his last fight was marquez- he was already shot but competitive until got KO for the first time on his career.Guerrero and bradley should have never happened.
    losses against freitas,castillo and corrales very controversial. He got a gift against Santa cruz

    I don't understand this obsession with the hall of fame, I don't really know what it is or why it's considered important by some, to be honest. True boxing fans understand Casamayor's record and capabilities. The Freitas/Castillo/Corrales/Casamayor era was awesome.

    HoF off Ams alone, then the pro success is the icing on the cake.

    The first four rounds of the fight against Marquez was the most beautiful and technically brilliant display of counter punching in boxing history. The number of losses on his record is quite deceptive, but most people realise he was a top, top fighter in his day.
