    I think the op was just creating a list of guys who have fought lots of HOF'ers, I don't think he was actually ranking the quality of the resume, might be wrong though. If its a discussion about quality of resume based on how many HOF opponents are on the fighters record then yeah you're right you can't count losses.

    Larios defended seven times his WBC super-bantam title, beat Izzy Vazquez, Wayne McCullough (2x) and also won the WBC featherweight title.

    His certainly not a first ballot HOF, but he might get there some day.

    you just exposed your lack of boxing knowledge.
    You have gatti and castillo who both aren't HOF
    worthy on floyd's padded ledger, but you left out virgil hill on RJJ's resume, when virgil was inducted just a couple of months ago. Also, Rjj beat all
    of those HOF'ers in their primes, whereas fraud only has 1 HOF'er in
    his prime. chico.

    i never claimed to be perfect. I think gatti will get in because of what he did for the sport of boxing (gave us numerous entertaining bouts). The entire boxing world loved him. I also think castillo has a chance based on his clashes with floyd & chico. I didn't know about V.hill either. simple mistake


    sounds like you have an agenda against floyd.

    edit: I never said floyd did any of this in his prime lol. don't take out your hatred of floyd on me. I didn't pick floyds oppnents

    Gatti is already in the HOF. He was inducted together with Hill.

    Dude, you can't put a fighter in the hall because he was beloved
    by the casual fan, nor by getting beat by HOF'ers. Castillo is on
    the cusp but he held a title in 1 weight class, so that's not going
    to cut it. If it does, then canastota has really lowered it's standards.
    You don't know about virgil hill being a HOF'er? It was in a very recent
    RING mag on recent inductees, and who said anything about hate for
    floyd. Your uninformed and ill-advised post just affirmed your bias
    for him, and your obvious hate of the greatest fighter on that list.
    RJJ.:deal

    You do know it's a lot of boxers in just because they were popular.Look up the hall of fame you will be shocked at some names.

    Gatti's not in the hall. If they inducted him it was a sympathy thing,
    and it was kept under wraps. Hops, Toney, and Hill all 1st ballot
    HOF'ers, and Floyd only has 1 of those on his resume. Chico.

    This is the fallacy in boxing. Having HOF names on your resume has to be taken with a grain of salt. For example, Garcia and Pac fought Morales when it was clear Morales was in decline. Almost ALL of the HOF names on Pac's resume were in decline and with recent losses when they fought Pac. Mayweather and Pac fought DLH, Mosley when they were obviously past their primes. Holmes fought a way past his prime Ali and so on and so forth.
