      wilder is guaranteed but kazuto ioka is not even on a maybe list...
      how is donaire not guaranteed? nonito's career is better than wilder's, norton's, gatti's, mancini's... 4 division champion for ~10 years, exciting fighter, CLEAN fighter. he must get in.

          Great feedback!
          A couple Quick notes:

          My list of prospective ballot candidates is by no means presented in any kind of order or indended to be complete.
          I would have no issue adding to it, to include such as:

          Kosei Tanaka, JAP 13-24. 20-1-0(11)
          Kazuto Ioka, JAP 09-24. 31-3-1(16)

          Also, while super Flyweights & mini-Flyweights deserve equal consideration, the Heavyweights, fair or not, are the flagship fighters, bereft of 'little guy skill' and bulky though they may be, and anybody who's ever come close to Wilder's 10 successful title defenses, one of those to unify, is, like it or not; getting in the Hall of fame.

          Nonito Donaire is a good candidate of course, as feedback indicates here more than once.

          Also, as an aside; there are still plenty of Pioneer, Old-Timer and Modern catagory fighters, outside of the active or recently active group under discussion here, still deserving induction.

              shakur is not close at all. tank is not close at all. they are just popular fighters in the spotlight. that doesnt mean they have accomplished much because they have not. nakatani not close at all. these guys are division hopping but they dont have the quality wins to come close yet. compare tank and his 1 top 5 win over the #5 guy to teraji and his 7 top 5 wins including over the #1 guy. not really a comparison is it?

              guys that should be in are: donaire, estrada, kovalev, teraji, roman, lomachenko and a bunch of other guys are close like spence, bivol, rungvisai, beterbiev, jesse rodriguez
              I really want to add Kovalev in my Borderline list but his godawful performances after the first Ward fight is really hard to ignore. He even lost to Canelo, smh.

              At his prime i really see Kovalev being competitive against the top Light Heavyweights of the world but his overall career falls short imo.

                I get that. Kovalev seemed right on target for a good long while before he went down fast.

                I figure that in the end, it's down to what out mind decides is the right cut-off for packing the Hall.
                This is something that everyone, even the voting members, have a very personal feeling about.
                I agree that the distinction should be reserved for the very best fighters and personalities, but I have a commitment to enshrining everyone who I see as being great, and reprentitive of their era.
