    Lara got robbed big time in his last fight and he had the nerv to call out Martinez for a rubber match and he would only take one or two more fights... Anyway wish him the best recoveries cause he seems a nice guy and a fellow human being.

    nope, but that ain't to say he's more deserving than a few who have gained entry (too sharp and mcguigan) and a few who no doubt will get in on popularity (hatton and gatti).

    he had a an excellent career and was one of the best WW's of his era just short of HOF imo though but he might get in on pity votes. paul's the man and a major credit to the sport.

    Also he had a very exciting style and although it shouldn't count for ****, it definitely gets considered with HOF nominees....he's got an outside chance and I hope he gets in.

    Tarver upsets undefeated p4p no 1, atg RJJ by ko and probably doesn't make it, and you think Paul makes it for edging a guy who's likely not hof himself, while huge favorite on the books? And prime Cintron, lol, how did you forget prime Kolle or prime Matthysse the original?
