Hatton is not a HOFer

[$partacus]

Honestly, if Hatton gets in where do we draw the line? Suddenly everybody whose ever held a title or two gets in? It should be reserved for, oh, I don't know, great fighters.

Like Barry Mcguigan?

[IMDAZED]

I wouldn't be surprised if Hatton got in but I'm not sure I'd vote for him. I'd have to think real long and hard about it. Yes he beat Tszyu but if that was the decider then I'd probably have to put Ricardo Mayorga/Vernon Forrest in the HOF as well. One win doesn't cut it. You don't get bonus points for losing to good fighters either.

I'm not sure about Hatton. I keep hearing yes, he's a HOF'er but why? Because he was a champ? There have plenty of those.

LOL.

Well we shouldn't repeat mistakes should we? Not saying McGuigan doesn't deserve it but...hey.

At least his mustache amused me. The Modern day HoF has a few weak links, but that doesn't suddenly mean we should put in more of them.

[strugler]

Buffer ****ed up by saying that these two were cemented HOF fighters

Hatton has been exposed since the Collazo fight and he has not only come up short in the biggest fights but had his ass waxedddddddddddd in booth.

That is not the mark of a HOF

you crazy.................

He was more than a paper title holder...

Ricky was champion at 140 for four years!

And he captured the hearts of his fans as much as anyone ever has, having about 50,000 come over for the Floyd fight and 30,000 come to Vegas for the Pacquiao fight, even though they knew there were no tickets available. If that isn't "fame" then what is?

Tunney...the argument you're making is totally beneath you. Come on, man.

So being popular is simply the key to the HoF. ****, somebody get Tye Fields' ticket ready since he'll be a shoe in from our comments alone.

If it's purely based on things like that are we throwing in Gatti, Ward, or Augustus? ****, they're entertaining and fans love 'em.
