    I think he is. It might take a while for Vic to get in.

    The man destroyed a lot of good fighters but it's too early to judge him now.

    Based on his accomplishments he's a future hall of famer. He's a multi division champ, multi time champ and a P4P fighter at one point. He's a shoe in.

    He's heading there, the King Kong win would've helped him a lot but he lost that one, so ATM I'd say he's not yet done enough. On the other hand, he just fought 5 world champs in a row incl. a P4P-er and became the undisputed champion - the only one in boxing currently -, was the flyweight to beat, now is the super flyweight to beat, never ducked anyone and has some underrated wins, so he doing just fine. Now if he'd achieved all this at a higher class and/or he'd be American or an American journalist favorite like Cotto for example, there's would be no question, they'd vote him when he'd be available. But to be fair and objective, I think a win over Donaire is needed here, just like a win over Margarito could help Cotto's case.

    A win over Foreman would help Cotto too and is the easier fight though it would be at a different division it doesn't hurt to pick up a title or two in a new weight class. That win would just help him regardless. Marg even though being considered a cheat after the hand wrap incident still is more dangerous to Cotto than Yuri.

    As of right now, no. He hasn't done that much. He needs better quality wins plus avenge the loss to the one hit wonder Donaire. :good

    Not yet. He still needs a couple of good wins.

    Not even close.

    there are loads of better, more deserving fighters from around these weights not in.

    Maybe. Who knows yet. All I know is I find his style SO aggravating to watch. Sure, he can hit, but I just get annoyed watching him move around the ring.

    I think he will

    One great reason is there not a hell of alot of Flyweights etc in the HOF.

    He probably only has to get defend his title another 2 times and his in.

    He has some quality wins

    Pacheco, Gabi, Maldonado, Kirilov, Mijares, Arce and had the draw with Gorres which Vic got robbed of a win.

    If he beats Guerrero which we think he will his World Title fights will be

    11 Wins 2 Loses with all 11 World Title Wins coming by stoppage.

    Like i mean if you want a comparsion Jung Koo Chang is a Flyweight

    Chang went 16 Wins and 4 Loses in his World Title Fights and i hate to say this but not one of his opponents was at Jorge Arce level.
    Humberto Gonzalez but Humberto won.

    Like i said if Vic defends say 2 or 3 more times he will go to the Hall of Fame.

    For me Darchinyan only has to beat

    Guerrero

    And he probably gets in why some may ask because he has that win over Arce who i believe will be going to the Hall aswell.
