Kambosos will be in the hall of fame one day

[TheProudLunatic]

Because half the judges are on the take
It comes down to getting votes and who’s your backing
Gatti , may have not been the superstar and the most victorious but he was must see tv for a few years and lit up AC like no other
The Boardwalk Hall will always be Gatti’s home away from home
Just to be clear , I think Forrest is deserving of HoF

This is why people say HOFame and not HOAccomplishments
"Fame" has a certain ring about it.
Being "famous" due to accomplishments is how it should be.

Won the IBF 130 title and made 3 successful defenses
Won the WBC 140 title and made 2 successful defenses

Record vs world title winning opposition:
W vs Jose Sanabria UD 12
W vs Tracy Harris Peterson UD 12 (reigning titlist)
W vs Tracy Harris Peterson UD 12
W vs Calvin Grove RTD 7
W vs Gabriel Ruelas TKO 5
W vs Joey Gamache KO 2
L vs Oscar De La Hoya TKO 5
W vs Terron Millet TKO 4
W vs Leonard Doroftei KO 2
W vs Jesse James Leija KO 5
L vs Floyd Mayweather RTD 7
L vs Carlos Baldomir TKO 9

Sanabria, Grove, Gamache, and Leija were way past it but he has some good names on his resume regardless and the Ward trilogy was legendary. I don't care that Ward was a fringe contender, those were incredible fights and I'll watch them anytime they're on TV.

He's a fringe case for the HOF, I wouldn't be mad if he didn't get in. But I'm not mad that they let him in either. There are worse guys in there and there will be more.

I was at Gatti/Ward 2, Gatti/Leija and Gatti/Dorin...Thunder beat some pretty decent opponents, always entertained and put thousands of asses in seats.

You're right about him lighting up Atlantic City. I don't have an issue with him being in the HoF one way or the other but he accomplished quite a bit and energized the sport regardless of talent or resume. HBO chose to air his fights on the regular forms reason....
