    Vazquez should be close to a lock. Actually, his career is almost identical to that of Danny Lopez, who got in last year. Hamed and Hatton are borderline. Casamayor is close but probably not there. Taylor and Johnson would have needed to have done significantly more.

    Agreed that none of the guys are first ballot types.

    Hamed? Hatton? Get the **** out of here. Vazquez probably, but he is not a first balloter, Casa at a stretch.

    Casamayor had the most talent out of all those guys but close bs losses may not let him get in.

    Do you think if Johnson were to win the Super Six he should get in? I'd agree at the moment he hasnt done enough but if he won the Super Six:think.......................

    Whoa, calm down. I never said I believe they should be inducted(though I think they may have done enough), only that a lot of people talk about these guys possibly getting inducted and was looking for what people thought.

    Don't worry mate, i'm not having a go at you.

    This is what i'm talking about. Taylor aswell? What has he done? Beating Hopkins was a good win, but what else has he acheved? Gifts against Wright and Cory Spinks get you into the HOF? I don't think so.

    Scraping past Collazo and Lazcano? Hatton's best win is against a past his best Tszyu. Beating Urango and Malignaggi is not HOF inductee material. You might as well induct Paul Williams or Andre Berto now. They've nearly acheived now what Hatton did in his career.

    Hamed? Where do I start. WTF did he do to suddenly become a HOF? HE beat absolutely nobody. British HOF maybe, but world? I really don't see it. Then again Barry Mcguigan barely achieved more, but his HOF status is rightly debated.

    I'd be amazed if Hatton didn't get in. Naz will probably get in at some stage also.

    People forget that you don't need to be an ATG to get in the hall.
