    Personally, I don't think Gatti and Corrales don't belong in the Hall of Fame. God bless them, but it's the Hall of Fame, not the Hall of Exciting or the Hall of Very Good. I think Castillo is borderline but I'll include him for argument purposes.

    Juan Manuel Marquez will look great on his resume, so will Oscar and Chicanito. No one will even remember that JMM was considered a little guy or that Oscar was a part time fighter. Hernandez is great on his resume because he fought a World champion after only fighting professionally for a year and won. He'll also get credit for taking Hatton's O.

    Mayweather will have Hernandez, Castillo, Marquez, De La Hoya, and Pacquiao. Pacquiao has Morales, Barerra, Marquez, Oscar, Hatton and Cotto. I think as far as names go, Morales/Barerra twice is better than Hernandez once and Castillo twice. And it will go down that Pac took out their common opponents in legendary fashion (He retired De La Hoya, has one of the best KOs ever against Hatton, and although Mayweather had a more impressive performance against Marquez, Marquez-Pacquiao I and II will go down as classic fights and will be more remembered).

    It's a good debate, but history is written by the boxing writers, and there are already grumbles that Mayweather has ducked the best competition. Beating Pacquiao would go a long way in shutting them up, but beating Pacquiao, Mosley, and Williams would definitely shut them up.
    Those guys are going to get in, that is the whole point there will be very few people who would know that 50 years from now just judging from what I see on here. Most people will see 6,7,8 hall of famers on his resume and be like wow this guy must have been the ****, then they would watch the fights and would be even more impressed.

    The rest of that stuff is up for debate like I said I would not really care about people thinking that way as I have witnessed this all first hand. I feel people usually short change what Mayweather has done, while giving Manny a lot of credit which is why I feel they are much closer now then most tend to believe but it is all about opinion so whatever way is fine to think about it.
