    Casamayor and Wright.

    Rafa and Vitali are borderline, but Rafa might get in due to the great spectacle of the trilogy, and Vitali for lack of other quality heavyweights.

    i said darchinyan is top 100 if he beats donaire and wins a belt at 122...that is 4 division champion, quite an accomplishment

    It would all depend on who he beat to get the title. If he gets a vacant title for beating a guy with a record of 23-6, then that doesn't cut it.

    yes, i agree...but he defends it thrice i think he can make a case even if he beat a guy with 23-6 record.

    it all boils down to cotto, darchinyan or wladimir on who of them would be the next fighter to enter the top 100 and make a case of an ATG status..

    mosley and marquez top 100 status is still not secured but if they retire now, he are in the top 100

    I think Marquez has to be in the top 100, personally.

    He dominated at 126lb, and is currently dominating at 135lb.

    I always feel he beat Manny Pacquiao, the premier fighter in the world today.

    A lock, for me.

    Pacquiao's accomplishments cannot be undone. Everything else is just a bonus now, he will go down as a top 50 ranked fighter.

    I don't envision Valero getting a fight with Marquez, who will do all of his work at 140lb+ now, in my opinion.

    the guys I highlighted get in the hall.....they did enough, and I took into context the era, the resume, titles,division, and hall of fame standards....this is not the hall of greatness, but hall of fame.....and the guys in bold get in IMO.....

    I agree. I almost didn't include him, which is why he was at the end of my list of Locks. However, when you really take a look at his resume, the guy was primo at 140lbs, busted up and stopped Kostya, and only lost to the two pound for pound number ones of his generation. I feel you just gotta give it to the guy after all of that.
