    Notables wins: Sergio Martinez, Winky Wright, Antonio Margarito, Erislandy Lara (A win is a win), Carlos Quintana, Sharmba Mitchell, Verno Philips.

    His only losses are to Sergio Martinez and Carlos Quintana.

    IMO : Yes. He fought most of his foes while in their prime.

    ps. Two-time WBO Welterweight Champion as well as interim WBO Light Middleweight Champion.

    41-2 with 27 KO's

    Hasnt done enough to get in...Even if he didnt have his accident and fought on, I dont think he would have gotten in because he lacks the quality wins.

    Maybe if Andy Kolle storms outta nowhere to knock out the Sergio Martinez vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. winner, the Felix Sturm vs. Daniel Geale winner, Gennady Golovkin, and Dmitry Pirog back to back to back to back and then moves up to do the same to the Andre Ward vs. Chad Dawson winner, the Robert Stieglitz vs. Arthur Abraham winner, and Carl Froch...

    Then, yeah, PTP 1st ballot HOF.

    There's no need for this.
    When can it become clear that Paul should be off limits? He's not a HOF'r but as boxing fans,he should have our respect and sympathy.
    Can we just let the guy get on with his very difficult future without having to knock his credentials.
    ****ing King Khan!
