Roy Jones - tentative (PED allegation)
Bernard Hopkins
James Toney - tentative (PED allegation)
Vlad Klitchko
Floyd Mayweather
Manny Pacquaio
Robert Guerrero
Miguel Cotto
Juan Manuel Marquez
Shane Mosley - tentative (PED allegation)
Carl Froch
Sergio Martinez (he might not get in on the first ballot however)
Nonito Donaire (he might not get in on the first ballot however)
These weren't allegations, they failed drug tests or admitted using them. The other one is Marquez who will probably get a pass.
Kelly Pavlik and Jermain Taylor should not be added to the list. Those 2 trainwrecks have done nothing to deserve a nod in the HOF. Taylor got 2 gifts against Bernard Hopkins.
they weren't gifts. as much as I despise taylor I thought he eked out the one and the other could have gone either way. I agree that neither should be in the hof tho
What about Kelly Pavlik or Jermain Taylor...should they be added to the list?
Remember Gatti made it into the HOF when considering Pavlik or Taylor (think resume)
Kelly Pavlik and Jermain Taylor should not be added to the list. Those 2 trainwrecks have done nothing to deserve a nod in the HOF. Taylor got 2 gifts against Bernard Hopkins.
