good one almost forgot

And I guess you can make a case for RJJ being close, but I dont think he is a better overall fighter. Lewis has accomplished so much in his career, when you look back at how he bombed people: Its really ridiculous. The greatest Pugilist of all time hands down.

Hell ya Roy Jones made everyone look foolish

If there was a pugilist who came close, it probably would be SRR. But even then, he was forced to fight out of necessity towards the later portion of his career. Lewis also avenged every one of his losses, and put on clinics in every fight he was not knocked out in. His fight with Mercer was the only really "close" fight, despite him stopping Vitali Klitschko on cuts as well.

He was old in that klitschko fight anyways...

"Sugar" Ray Robinson was a legend and the greatest(yes, greater than me) He was a phenom, nobody will ever be better than him...

He would KO RJJ in 4

A prime Robinson that is

Roy Jones Jr.
Evander Holyfield
Erik Morales
Marco Antonio Barrera
Julio Cesar Chavez
Mike Tyson
Lennox Lewis
Oscar De La Hoya
Felix Trinidad
Shane Mosley
Kostya Tsyzu

Johnny Tapia
Naseem Hamed
Mark Johnson
Ricardo "Finito" Lopez
Riddick Bowe (arguably)

Just so long as we've got this fella below in the mix I'm happy!... LOL!... :notworthy

Will Ruiz become a Hall of famer for being the first Latin HW champ?

Does Tyson really deserve to be a Hall of Fame?

Do Nard 20+ defenses grant him a ticket to the HOF?

-sadly yeah

-**** Yes

-and Of course

i would add Ruiz, he was the 1st latin HW champ. maybe even Bryd, he has beaten just about everyone in the HW Div. Was Floyd on that list? He will be a Hall of famer

Bernard Hopkins
Roy Jones
Marco Antonio Barrera
Lennox Lewis
Evander Holyfield
Erik Morales
Oscar De La Hoya
Felix Trinidad
Sugar Shane Mosley
Floyd Mayweather

The overall best fighter of this era would have to be Bernard "Executioner" Hopkins. Even if he losses this summer (In which I think he will), he still is the best overall fighter of this era, and arguably the best middleweight that ever lived. 20 defenses and 3 all time greats on your record has to qualify you no doubt.

roy jones is the best of this era, after all he is 1-0 against bernard hopkins

Tyson, Holyfield, lenoxlewis, DelaHoya, hopkins,barrera and Morales.
i dont think trinidad should.

roy jones jr and bernard hopkins should be the first 2 in the hall of fame

butterbean :D

roy jones jr and bernard hopkins should be the first 2 in the hall of fame

RJJ
Hopkins
MAB
EM
DLH
Tito
Toney
Tyson
Holyfield

are the first ones that come to mind

Tyson, Holyfield, lenoxlewis, DelaHoya, hopkins,barrera and Morales.
i dont think trinidad should.

You must be joking if you don't think that Trinidad has the credentials to be in the HOF. That's a given.

I am probably not going to make any friends saying this but I dont think his 20 straight defenses should put him in the HOF just because of his 20 straight title defenses . How many times do we discredit a fighter because of his competition ? He fought alot of bums during those 20 defenses everyone talks about. Then they bring up DLH , Or tito , or even more recently Glen Johnson .

1. Glen johnson went on to lose to 8 more fighters after his first career loss came from Bernard Hopkins, the names of these fighters who beat him him are irelevant because unless you are a die hard boxing fan you probably havent heard of them.

2. For a guy who started his career at light heavy and walks around somewhere around that weight on a day to day basis , beating somebody who started his career at Super featherweight. The fight with Felix Sturm should have warned everybody as to what B- Hop was going to do to him .

I think B-Hop should go to the HOF becasue of his work ethic, and being a champion at middleweight for so long , but ask this question , If Roy Would have stayed at middleweight could he have done it ? What if Sugar Shane Stayed at lightweight could he have done 20 defenses ? Remember this All great fighters have challenged themselves in higher divisions to prove themselves as champions

I don't think you really seen Hopkins fight before....

I agree with what you are saying somewhat..

Hopkins shouldnt go in the HOF cuz of his record

but he beat lot of seasoned fighters..
and if you seen him in his prime
he was very underrated back then...

I honestly don't care if he had 10 defenses or 100 defenses..

I agree with you somewhat
Don't forget Johnson got robbed about 6-7 times so don't bring that 8 loss crap..

Hopkins shouldnt go in the HOF cuz of his record

He shouldn't...He should go to the record books but not to the HOF...He has just two big wins over fighters that began at 140...I give him credit for the Tito fight, but the DLH fight was a fraud..At last he will fight a good middle in Taylor, lets see what happens when he fights a real good (but young) middle...

lets see what happens when he fights a real good (but young) middle...

How is Taylor "Real Good"?

who has he beat? Marquez? a washed up joppy?

If Hopkins doesn't deserve to be in the HOF then lets kick Marvin Hagler out too while we're at it. I mean, his two biggest fights were against the two best welters of his day...but they were just little guys and he actually lost one of those fights...so he doesnt deserve to be in either :rolleyes:

You guys are ****ing nuts...

Erik Morales should be first ballot entry.

I can tell that he's "good" from what I’ve seen already...

I just wanna say that that Burger King pic scares the **** outta me! Imagine waking up and seeing that thing, damn I'd **** my pants!

Holyfield, Lewis, Tyson, Vit Klitschko, Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins, Oscar De la Hoya, Barrera, Erik Morales, Shane Mosley, Trinidad, Lopez, John John Molina ... some of the tiny guys, that's enough.

It ain't that creepy but I get what you mean. By the way, did you find the fight you wanted? Did you check what I said?
