    That's not how it's evaluated.

    VERY FEW fighters end up 3-division champion, much less 4 or more.

    HOF means, what did you do that very few others did?

    Which is why smart fighters go to different weight classes for belts.

      Don't sportswriters vote to put boxers in the HOF? Everybody knows Broner and Garcia both fought for either vacant titles or against weak paper champs. It's all smoke and mirrors. They both literally lost their biggest fights.

          Those writers vote based on accomplishment, NOT who they specifically fought at the time or whatever loss(es).

          Thus why someone like Vinny Paz didn't get in despite having fought pretty much everyone and winning titles, because that's really all he did.

            I guess we will have to wait and see. Part of it depends on who else is eligible that year. If it's a crowded field, Broner will get put on the back burner.

              Adrien Broner may have a few losses on his boxing record, but as far as the former titlist is concerned, he is undefeated when it comes to life. In a recent interview, the flamboyant boxer from Cincinnati flatout rejected the perception that his upcoming fight against Omar Figueroa Jr. has a redemptive, win-or-go-home, tinge to it. Broner's reasoning? Redemption is for losers.

              I didn’t know their was a section of admittance in the HOF for boxers who loose every time out against elite fighters. Him and Kahn should both be admitted.
