    People neglecting Eubank? His fight with Watson is one of the best I've ever seen. And he beat Benn.

    If it was up to me, I'd say none of them. A few probably will get in, but I think the standard is too low. There are only about 15 fighters from the past 15 years I would induct, and none of these guys would make the cut.

    From that list, Tapia is the best and the next best three would be the British trio of Benn, Eubank and Hamed.

    Benn and Eubank for me. Hamed'll probably get in though.

    i would say that hamed has the best chance there. it's surprising that he never make it in his first year of eligibility

    Johnny Tapia is an absolute must for the HOF.

    The guy is one of the best Super Flyweights ever, and he is very underrated on ESB. He had to move up to receive his first defeat, in a fight that he had a case for winning. Not much of a big hitter, but he had blazing hand speed, and proved against Danny Romero that he had a lot of Boxing ability.
