    You obviously don’t respect fighters because all these guys are good capable fighters. One is a friend of mine and none are bums. The problem is some of you guys actually hate boxers.

    Enshrinement in the HOF should come down to more than thrilling fights. In an objective world, Gatti's inclusion in the HOF should open the floodgates for other exciting fighters. Two fighters who come to mind are Rafael Marquez and Israel Vasquez.

    I agree. Smoking Bert Cooper could get in if Gatti is the norm rather than the exception. I think Gatti’s untimely death helped put him in. His resume doesn’t belong.

    No.

    Hearns and Leonard fought top competition, including each other. Neither Spence and Crawford have fought a single top fighter. They need to fight each other to deserve the HOF, but they'll likely get in anyway because they're American.
