    I think Gatti and Ward will both be there someday. Maybe even a guy like David Tua. Is Cooney there yet?
    Johannson at least won the HW title, and also beat a top contender of his day in Machen.

      While Micky Ward should not be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, he does currently have a presence there, as he deserves to be remembered despite his not being in the highest echelon of fighters.

            Who's going to remember him if he doesnt get in the hall of fame?

              He'll be remember for the Gatti trilogy. the trilogy is overrated, but the first fight was a classic.

              Some non-HOF fighters are remembered.

                  I beleave gatti deserves it because the boxing hall of fame isnt for boxers with amazing technical skills. Its just for famous boxers and you dont get much more famous these days than arteuro gati...I know i spelled it wrong

                      I'm not sure if he will...but anyone who puts it all in the line with so much heart, and a true warrior in the sport, really deserves to be in it.
