which current boxers are IBHOF worthy?

No to Tarver but if Johnson were to pull an upset and win another title you might have to consider him:think Especially all the tough breaks hes had he seems to have had more good wins than Tarver even though they split their fights.

 

Glen Johnson,

Vernon Forrest, Arturo Gatti - both (RIP).

 

:roflatsch

 

i'm no klitchko fan or least not vitaly but i think they've done enough to get in.

 

Gatti doesn't deserve to get in. He lost to Ivan Robinson twice who got beaten by a beyond-shot Chavez. Exciting fighter and I love him, but he was never near elite.

 

I have to disagree with you there, Boom_Boom....Shane is a 3 weight div champ, went from 135 to 147 and beat a prime DLH, was p4p # 1 for a short period, and has been a top welterweight for the last decade. Rafa was the man at 118, and 122, was involved in one of the greatest trilogies in recent times, and if he manages to beat Juanma this coming September, then definetly gets in the IBHOF IMO.

 

I don't think so. Both are very borderline candidates.

My shoo-ins:

Evander Holyfield
James Toney
Manny Pacquaio
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Roy Jones Jr.
Juan Manuel Marquez
Marco Antonio Barrera
Erik Morales
Israel Vazquez
Rafael Marquez
Shane Mosley
Bernard Hopkins

Borderline guys with a good shot:

Wladimir Klitschko
Pongsaklek Wonjongkam
Winky Wright (if he's still active)
Ricky Hatton (ditto)
Miguel Cotto
Fernando Montiel
Jorge Arce
Joel Casamayor
Jose Luis Castillo
Ivan Calderon

Guys close to having a shot but who need to do a bit more:

Vic Darchinyan
Jermain Taylor
Vitali Klitschko
David Haye
Tomasz Adamek

 

What about Tito Trinidad? He definetly should be in IMO.

 

He'd be a shoo-in, but I don't consider him to be active. Same for Hoya, Tyson, Hearns, Calzaghe, etc.

 

oh **** I just noticed it said current active boxers, i feel like a dummy now :nut

 

I agree with most of what has been said... Especially about Cotto. He deserves to be heavily considered. A few more quality wins would surely put him over the top and make him a sure thing.

 

But he did a lot for the sport by bringing in fans and going balls out all the time.

 

Hall of fame isnt about elite, its about contributing to the sport. And boy did Aturo do that :deal

 

JMM
Rafa Marquez
Pacquiao
Mayweather Jr.
Cotto
Mosley
W. Klitschko
Barrera
BHop
Toney
Morales

 

:good Fully agree with this, winds me up when people think the HOF should be exclusively based on their record.
