    only credible persons are allowed to vote..it's either they are bought or not qualified to be in the panel..hamed failed to enter the HOF in his first year of eligibility. maybe he could crack in this year

    Don't think anyone of the above list is a lock but I'd like for Gatti, JLC and Chico to be in there.

    the nostalgic element of gatti is enough for him to gain a spot there

    No it doesnt, for you maybe. HOF shouldnt be the most exciting but for those who were the best of this sport

    Only 10 votes for El Feroz, bull****. He's the best fighter of that bunch.

    Tim Austin had more talent than both Vargas and Gatti. Its a shame they call it the Hall of 'Fame'...

    Gatti and Castillo need to be in there.

    I would like to see Corrales in there also.

    In all that list I cannot think of one . Corrales did not do enough for consideration. The only thing Castillo and Corrales did was have that great fight, so on that maybe they get in. But on accomplishments they were not that great.

    HOF is not all about accomplishment...he is a nostalgic element that swings the members of the panel to vote you in...gatti and corrales are sure-ins for me...they did a lot for the sport

    Not sure any of them.

    Some are close.


    Mayweather and Calzaghe are not on the list and they are both certain HOFers.

    (ANd i'm not a Mayweather fan, by any means)
