Is Shane Mosley a HOF?

[WhoreUs]

Wownow thats crazy... Thats like saying John Ruiz can get in also lol

politics.

mcguigan was very popular in ireland.

the catholics and protestants both supported him.

mosley will get in canastota.

And I think that's what this thread is about. SSM is already in. There is no question about it. Does anybody that voted NO, have a vote? I don't think so....

[BERNIE'S CORNER]

Yes or No? I'm only asking...also explain why.

Me, I think he didn't do **** at L.W and his overall resume isn't all that.

Poll to come.

Shane is a hof as well an atg in my book. 3 div champ would seal it in most boxing minds. His 2 wins over Oscar in his prime seals it for me. His steroid experiment should'nt hamper his chances and his last fight only catapults him as an ATG!

Shane is a lock for the Hall of Fame but Mayweather still has alot to accomplish before he gets in. Maybe fighting a true Welterweight might help

of course no doubt about it..

I don't think many people realize how selective the HoF is. I'm talking about Canastota. The real hof. Not that crappy one that Freddie Roach is in.

The REAL HoF.

The HOF isn't selective at all. There is no criteria as there is in other sports. It nominates a certain number of fighters every year and the BWAA votes on who gets in. Basicly its a popularity contest.

100% agree it's all about popularity how else did McGuigan get it.

Mosley has had a very good career with both high-points and low. His career isn't spectacular but it is note-worthy. All of which would have earned him a place in the HOF.

But any fighter that has used roids in a sanctioned fight should lose that eligibility and be banned from consideration. This includes any fighter, not just Mosley, who has fought a sanctioned fight under the influence of chemical enhancements.

There has to be a line in the sand, when it comes to the HOF, otherwise you diminish its value and distinction.

CLOSE THREAD!!!

True boxing fans shouldnt turn the other cheek.

What the people that accuse Mosley of juicing fail to realize is he has never tested positive before a fight ever. Roy and Toney have both tested positive for banned substances so by the logic that juicers shouldn't be in the HOF I guess RJJ and Toney can never be eligible. Am I right?

Were you being serious here or was it sarcasm?
