Might Make It To The HOF?

[Kid Cauliflower]

Which of these guys do you think will make it to the HOF. Sorry if any already are.

1 Jerry Cooney
2 Rafael Marquez
3 Ron Lyle
4 Estaban de Jesus
5 Nicolini Locche
6 Johnny Saxton
7 Buster Douglas
8 Israel Vasquez
9 Mike Weaver
10 Mike Ayala

I probably could have picked more appropriate guys but I don't have all night. Feel free to add others you think may be borderline.

Also, feel free talk about who made it but shouldn't have IYO.

[IronDanHamza]

Not on the list but I think Jose Luis Castillo should be in there.

Interesting pick. I'm not arguing against it, just curious why you would place him there. I think Vinny Pazienza should be in, but I'm sure many would disagree.

Best Lightweight of the early 00’s era. Very strong resume. Arguably beat Floyd Mayweather.

Was involved in arguably the best fight of all time albeit the loser, to which was avenged.

That’s a HOF’er to me.

Vinny Paz not a bad pick. He’d be in more for the incredible backstory around his career but he was a very good fighter too though.

Locche is already in. What about a pair of Late 00's fighters in the middleweight division: Pavlik, & Taylor? Feel like both had the ability to be there, but maybe just fell short in their careers.

[Kid Cauliflower]

I think fell just short too. They had it going once.

I go with numbers 4 and 10.

Although I doubt Mike Ayala will ever make it in. I just like his grit and willingness to exchange. -- Personal bias.

De Jesus was never a champion but more than journeyman, he was a 'gatekeeper.' I think he should be remembered.

Maybe: Gooney and Weaver on name recognition because of a few big, exciting fights.

Rafael Marquez is already in. I think Vasquez should be right there with him.

Locche is in.

I’d say Marquez. His four fights with Vasquez were classics. Champ in two weight classes.

Marquez was inducted last year.
