    I'm stuck on a fence with this one, It seems he hasn't done enough but there are guys who have done less and still got in. What do you think ?

    This wouldn't even have been a question with better luck on the cards and better self-management. :-(

    He sure is. Hes one of the best ever at 154. Alot of defenses and some great wins against great fighters while being an underdog. ATG Jab and Defense

    He's really not famous like that though. When has he headlined a pay per view?? When was he the draw, he was respected in the boxing world by dardcore boxing fans, but that's about it. He only beat blown up welters. Vargas beat him, Hopkind beat him, couldn't beat Taylor. His biggest win was Mosley and Trinidad, both at weights where his opponents were at a disadvantage. Hall of fame is about doing great things, not just being average. Can't really say though.

    If some of his close decision losses had gone his way then it would be a sure thing.

    As it is i say hes borderline.

    **** no. Turned down the Taylor rematch, and fights with Mayweather and Delahoya.

    On top, didn't accomplish near enough.

    It could go either way, but I have a feeling he'll eventually get into the Hall.

    he will get in just cause his nicknames winky

    he will probably get in - does he deserve it? maybe just, wins over Mossley and tito regardless of weight will do it but other than those 2 he doesn't have great deal of depth.
