Should Rafael Marquez be inducted into Hall of Fame the future?

[IronDanHamza]

he is a HOFer. no doubt about it. he was also rated as a top 10 p4p fighter for a very very long time if I remember right.

Depends how you define very long time.

He was in the Top 10 P4P for a few years, 3 or 4 years. As was Ricky Hatton.

Doesn't really mean much in the grand scheme of things.

it was a disgrace that hatton was ever in the top 10. he was listed in the top 10 the first time after he fouled the sh_it out of Tszyu for the whole fight. had nothing to do with boxing really. Marquez was a highly skilled pugilist, has nothing to do with Hatton-rough-and-tough-fouling kinda fighting.
I think Marquez was in the top 10 for more than 4 years and hatton should never have been in it

You're mistaken.

And, like I said, the same logic you are using for Marquez to be in the HOF means Hatton is a HOF'er also.

Ricky Hatton was actually once considered a Top 5 P4P fighter and was ranked above Marquez in the list for pretty much the entire time they were both on the list.

Hatton is 4 years on the list which is a joke imo. and hatton will also be in the HOF btw. I dont think he deserves it, but he will be.

[RIZO24]

He defenitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. IMO he is better deserved than Arturo Gatti, Hatton, or Ward..

Hatton was on the list also in 05, 06, 07, 08 and 09.

So, both were on there for 5 years.

why is this now about Hatton? you wanted to prove me that Marquez was NOT longer than 4 years on the list. and I proved thats not true. and Im not sure if Hatton was on the list 2009 but it doesnt matter cause Hatton should never have been on the list EVER. hatton is not bad or anything I just think he never was p4p material. but he had some skills too, but it was all dirty, rough and tough style with rabbit punching, lowblows and all that other crap. not a p4p fighter to me

Of course, One of the best 118 pounders of modern times.

[CasualBoxingFan]

Man, he should get in for Vazquez trilogy alone, that's what boxing is all about right there son. Put it all on the line, one win i remember is against "too sharp", had to give him props.

[Optimistic]

Yeah, I'd say so.
