Margarito would be borderline, had he NOT been caught up with plaster.
No boxer caught with plaster should ever be in a hall of fame.
It's like a baseball player with a corked bat.
so true
he'd deffinately get late ballot consideration if he was never associated w/ plaster
Semi - retired / recently retired / should be retired
roy jones, ricky hatton, oscar de la hoya, evander holyfield, hector camacho, james toney, joe calzaghe, felix trinidad
active guys who have earned it without question(going down in weight)
Both klitschkos
Bernard hopkins
shane mosley
floyd mayweather
miguel cotto
manny pacquiao
juan manuel marquez
rafael marquez
israel vasquez
ivan calderon
some close calls / guys who could cement a late ballot w/ a big win or two
Thomas Adamek
Glen Johnson
Young guys doin all the right stuff to get there that need to keep up the good work in the years to come (got these ones in order too :ninja: : )
nonito donaire
andre ward
Juanma Lopez
Amir Khan (better keep those gloves up though)
Tim Bradley
some very good fighters w/ great resumes that dont belong / arent likely to belong by the end of their careers (notice they are all at or near the end as well)
Sergio Martinez
Carl Froch
Antonio Tarver
mikkel kessler
nate campbell
juan diaz
and some "Honorable" inductees (i think these men should be in the HOF because of what they gave to boxing)
Micky Ward (LOWELL MA, BABY)
Arturo Gatti (clearly the better resume and more talented fighter of the two)
Cotto is still up for debate IMO.....if he is in then surely Margarito also makes it. He's borderline. Sorry Cotto fans. Also i'm well aware there are lesser fighters than Cotto who have been inducted.

Holyfield, Jones, Hopkins and Mosley r already guarenteed I thought, Morales and Barrera (is Barrera still active?)
Oh yeah, and the great Bobby Pacquiao.
Besides Pacquiao and Mayweather what other active fighters will make the Boxing HOF?
First Ballot:
RJJ
Hopkins
MAB
JMM
Erik Morales
Toney
Klit Bro's
Others:
Shane Mosley
Ivan Calderon
Wongjonkam
Chris John
Darchinyan
Cotto
Rafa Marquez
Israel Vazquez
Montiel
Jermaine Taylor
Could make HoF in the future if they fulfill their potentials or carry on doing what they're doing, but wouldn't make the HoF if they retired at this point in time:
Donaire
Froch
Kessler
Ward
Bradley
Khan
Haye
Segura
Juanma Lopez
Pavlik
Sergio Martinez (people are gonna hate me for saying this but only major wins are against Pavlik and Williams. Most HoF's have dominated their divisions for extended periods of time, e.g. Calzaghe or Hopkins, or have multiple titles in different division, e.g. Mayweather or Pacquiao. if he was to retire now, he wouldn't make it)
This dudes #1 fighter is Delaquitter hahahahaha. No wonder he's a PAC hater..... Go build another stool for Delaqutter to sit on.. Hahahhahaha
STFU you pole smoking virgin. Your posts are pathetic...........:smashfrea
The list is long.
Surely -> the bros, Hopkins, Jones, Toney, Martinez, Cotto, Marquez bros, Calderon, Vasquez, Mosley
Maybe or too early too call -> Haye, Kessler, Ward, Huck, Dawson, Khan, Bradley, John, Donaire
Fighter who retired recently and will surely be elected -> Calzaghe, De La Hoya
Cotto is still up for debate IMO.....if he is in then surely Margarito also makes it. He's borderline. Sorry Cotto fans. Also i'm well aware there are lesser fighters than Cotto who have been inducted.
I forgot about Mosley. And RJJr... somehow, he is retired, in my mind.
Don't you think Martínez should be moved to the "too early to call" list?
In the "too early to call" I would also put Montiel, Froch (YES, I said it), and Juanma López.
Agreed with Martinez, it's just I am a very big fan of the man.I put Ward instead of froch because I believe that Ward vs Froch (the final of the super six) will be Ward's. Same again with Lopez Vs gamboa (if it happens), Gamboa takes it IMO--> Gamboa

And...? I don't hate Pacquiao because of De La Hoya fight. I hate him because of you pathetic excuse for fans and his promoter and his trainer.
Seriously you're a joke. Nothing but a Pactard. All your posts are sucking nuts. It's pitiful.
Juan Manuel Marquez
Shane Mosley
Bernard Hopkins
Roy Jones Jr.
Rafael Marquez
Israel Vasquez
Glen Johnson
