    He had gotten the decision vs Floyd Mayweather in the first fight?

    It would’ve been a robbery of the best kind. Good chance Mayweather stops caring so much about his 0 and starts fighting more iron to make up for his gimmick being shattered.

    If Arturo Gatti and Ray Mancini are in why not.

    Question is if He shouldn't be in anyway? I think He should get the credit for the kind of fight He gave Floyd regardless of what the judges's call was - and his resume is excellent even besides that.

    I voted yes, but to me the HOF should equal ATG & it doesn't.

    I'm confused as to why he isn't on the ballot when Corrales and Casamayor are. He arguably has a better resume than both men.

    I agree with you. In almost all Halls of Fame there are way too many undeserving members. They have been watered down a lot and the bar for getting in keeps getting lower and lower.

    It definitely isnt. Guys like Carl Froch and Timothy Bradley are in and while they were very good fighters I wouldnt classify either as an ATG

    I wasn't even aware of that. Doesn't make sense to me either.

    Considering he did beat Mayweather.

    Yes, he should be in the HOF. As long as they recognize that loss as a robbery.

    In boxing the standard is lower apparently compared to baseball which is very tough get in.

    Of course he would have. We ALL really know he DID BEAT FLOYD that night but the Vegas mafia covered his ass, as they did most of his career
