      De La Hoya, Mosley and Marquez are the only ones I can call future hall of famers with absolute confidence. A few others may get in but, to be honest, if it was me deciding who goes in I would probably leave 'em out.

          It has happened more than you think. See: Jose Torres, Jack Sharkey,...I can go on and on.

            Shane Mosley is a lock.

              I don't know about the IBHOF's standards anymore but I imagine he has beaten atleast 3 or 4. As time goes by, more and more fighters will make the hall of fame, even if they weren't truly great. It's only been around for 20 years and there are already some rather questionable picks included.

                This can be a tricky subject, Gerry Cooney beat several hall of famers and Pat Lawlor beat a couple(Duran/Benitez).

                  ODLH, Mosley, and JMM are 100% sure thing hall of famers.

                  Genaro Hernandez, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, and Ricky Hatton all have better records than a lot of people who have already been inducted into the IBHOF, and I would be in favor of them being in the hall of fame.

                  Zab Judah is a borderline case, but I don't think he has done quite enough to get into the hall of fame. Arturo Gatti is even worse than Judah in both skills and resume, I don't think he should be in the hall of fame (though he might get in due to popularity).

                    Judah isn't any where near HOF in my opinion. He will never get in.

                      I'm guessing you were being sarcastic.

                      Max Schmeling, Max Baer, James J Braddock, Jack Sharkey, John Henry Lewis, Jersey Joe Walcott, Billy Conn, etc. surely all couldn't have been past prime.
