    a draw fighting a much favored lopez in mexico is better than any moments that chang had in his entire career...

    I think knocking the **** out of Hilario Zapata is..in fact I know it is. As there was no arguement as to wheter Zapata was in his prime.

    Hell almost stopping on the way to nearly shutting out German Torres qualifies.

    As they were actually wins something you will find is different to a draw.

    As I said asero the HOF seems very inconsistent with who they let in and who they dont. They seem to have their favorites and Im sure there is a lot of back room dealings going on. I dont give much credence to it anymore.

    Maybe Chang isnt HOF material...but if he isnt then certainly Alvarez isnt either.

    they had carbajal and gonzales in there...i still believe in their credibility somehow because they make it hard for hamed to be inducted there...why do people think highly of zapata who was KO by chang..

    Just watch him asero...then you will see. One of the best defensive fighters Ive seen.

    He had a few bad KO losses but the rest of his career certainly makes up for it.

    Naseem probably rightly isnt first ballot...Its only been 6 years since he has retired. He should definitely get in eventually if McGuigan has.

    i think montiel, just as darchinyan, can make a case to be in the HOF...very underrated fighter...but a lost would really put a dent on his claim
