I expect him to get there. He is brilliant. A win over Mayweather would undoubtedly do it with interest, a big win at supermiddleweight would do it, otherwise he'll have to have a good reign at mw, rematching and beating Pavlik then beating a few more top contenders. He's a brilliant fighter and should get there (I scored the Cintron and 1st Williams fights for him as well).
If he dominates 160, and then beat a big name at 168, I think he can get in. Or, if he can get Mayweather or Pac in the ring and beat them at 154, and dominates 160.
win over Pac or Mayweather but that would probably not happen but if he dominates the 160 devision he should get in soon
if he can derail martinez maybe or perhaps he gets a 3rd fight with pacquiao and gets a draw or even SD im sure people may concider him
Martinez just needs to stay at MW and defend his title for a while. Some more dominating wins and he'll be well on his way to the HOF.
It's too late for him, unless he moves up to 168 and beats the best there. Beating Pac or Mayweather won't do it, frankly. Or at least in an ideal world it wouldn't.
he would have to dethrone one of the 2 P4P kings (money or pac) pac has stated before the marg fight he wont be moving up in weight anymore and will most likely go to 147 or 140 (hes natural weight) and mayweather is still technically inactive and lets face it if he comes back for another fight and it aient against pacquiao the boxing world would be furious (that being said martinez is also to talented to pose as a tune up fight for mayweather)
defeat Andre Ward, Carl Froch and either Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather. A win over Bute wouldn't hurt.
