    He was an entertaining fighter that win, lose or draw fought his heart out. His upset win over Tszyu no doubt made him a lock to get in at some point.

    Michael Moore & Diego it's almost like they'll put anyone in nowadays while worsening per year.

    How does Mosely qualify he's a proven steroid abuser, or a worse LYING , proven steroid abuser. He claimed to have passed TWO lie detector tests proving his innocence & would swear it on a bible. BUT!! Then up pops BALCO with receipts with his name & John Henry on them. I'll never forget that "Aww **** I;m screwed" look on
    his face & he had to come clean But he gets in the HOF anyway. Kinda cheapens it really plus it insults the true honest champions enshrined there

    I always figured Hatton would, but it sure took a longer time than i thought. I'm happy for him, he must be over the moon!

    Getting sent away for buying kilos of coke doesn't help his cause.

    He won the WBO at 175 when it didn't count for much and had a pathetic reign.

    The only top ten heavyweight he beat was Holyfield unless Schultz just barely made it.

    He got in for going 1-2 in three high profile fights at heavyweight. And all were good fights. I don't agree with it and think he must be the weakest heavyweight to get in since...Tommy Burns?

    Time for you to comprehensively review Diego's career.

    Schulz, Botha, Stewart, Bean, etc were all highly ranked when he fought them. Again, he is getting in because four fivhters go in every year and this is a down year. He has been on the ballot for a while and you may not think he is worthy or don't like him but he was a solid fighter. As for being weak as you say, I would take him head to against a lot of guys that are in the hall of fame. I think you are going a little to far dismantling his career.

    No, they weren't. Schultz was the only one who was fringe. Lol at the "etc."

    He was the IBF champion and Schulz, Botha and Bean were mandatory, he had to figjt those guys or be stripped. The ETC that you laugh out louding about are guys like Jirov, Cooper and Stewart who were stud amateur fighters, former world champions that people were not lining up to fight. I'm not claiming Moorer is the greatest fighter ever but he was a very good fighter that had a solid career. If you don't think he is HOF material then fine, you don't have to be cocksucker about it and **** on the guy. It's not like there have been a ton of guys that have moved from 175 to win belts at heavyweight let alone fight for over a decade in the division against very good opponents.
