    Just start a thread asking " Should every fighter be in the Hall of Fame?"

    LOLl..Im sort of doing that with guys who were A) two time champions or B) one time champions with a ton of defenses like Alfredo Escalera, who in my opinion should have been in years ago.

    I was always fond of Roger Mayweather. A crafty boxer with good ring generalship. But no. I don’t think he has the sort of achievements which would elevate him in to the hall of fame

    Sort of sad to say. All the boxers who fought worked so hard, but it is about accomplishments and his losses were too onesided at times to warrant Hall of Fame consideration. I think a better person to discuss if he should be in the Hall of Fame is Barkley. He beat Tommy in a stylistic advantage fight ( I think) and won 3 titles and had great fights. His heart and spirit for boxing in someways was so great.
