why shouldn't he be in there? he's a 2 weight 5x champion with official wins over all-time greats manny pacquiao and juan manuel marquez. solid wins against vazquez, witter, holt, peterson, alexander, casamayor, provodnikov, vargas, rios...these guys were all world champions. it's not a bad resume

You make valid points. In my opinion, when you're talking about Hall of Fame, it should be far and few in between. I mean, look at the inaugural class.

How many are really worthy? I don't know. But to put Timothy Bradley in the H.O.F, lowers the standards. Tank is a H.O.Fer right now, according to that logic. Adrian Broner. Mikey Garcia. Danny Garcia. Shakur Stevenson. Vasiliy Lomachencko. There's a lot of guys who have won belts in multiple divisions and wouldn't be considered H.O.F. Great? Yes, of course. But H.O.F? Everyone would agree, only one of those aforementioned names deserves it, if their careers ended today.

When you end your argument with "it's not a bad resume", you kind of answer your own question. I don't think "not a bad resume" is qualification for the HALL OF FAME. Which one of those fighters that he beat was truly great, and not well past their prime? Name one.

Loma is getting up there in age but a guy who will box with him vs try to outwork him or use their size is right up his alley so unless hes gotten a lot older I think its an easy win for him. And if kambosas even wins then what, people will just rightfully speculate it is due to loma's timing declining with age. Does anyone really see kambosas beating loma prime for prime with their style match up? probably no one.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Have you seen the recent inductees?

Apparently people like Broner has a chance nowadays

Letting Gatti and Corrales in for "entertainment value" was a mistake. Both those guys beat no hall of famers to get in.

At least with Bradley, he was sorta justified with two hall of fame scalps on his record.

Now anyone with "entertainment value" could potentially be inducted like Broner, a 4-division champ but will likely get inducted for his post-fight interviews

Another delusional fighter.

There you go, trippin' again, George.

i see. which truly great prime fighter did pacquiao or mayweather beat? which prime great did hagler beat? he beat hearns whose claim to faim was losing to leonard after feasting on a bunch of no-name bums and knocking out an old duran fighting several weight classes above his best, and he squeaked by benitez. outside of an old junior middleweight duran he lost all his big fights and beat nobody special. muhammad ali lost to bum ass ken norton and even bigger bum leon spinks. does anyone really belong in the hall of fame? it's a cool place for how tiny it is, but does anyone really deserve to be enshrined there? last time i went they had lomachenko gear on display. is he a hall of famer? i doubt it.

Kambo fought Lopez, then 6 months later went straight into a two fight undisputed series without even taking an easy defence in between.

One fight and he's back in with Loma.

I don't think 'talk more than fight' applies to him. He did the thing that no-one does.

It's a big accomplishment in itself if he legitimately beats Loma. First two Loma losses were close and he just straight up got robbed against hankey
