PLEASE GET ****ING REAL.
You asked name a great fighter Floyd beat in their prime. How is the P4P Number 5 in Corralles who mind you , again was ranked over Hopkins, Hamed, Lewis, Morales and Floyd at the time NOT a great fighter?
Corralles was a great, undefeated highly ranked fighter.
In fact only ranked two spots lower then Barerra when Pac fought him. Lets be consistent here.

im not talking about floyd. im talking about corrales.
corrales was a great fighter at one point. emmanuel augustus fought great at certain points in his career.
the point is can you classify them as a great hall of fame fighter?
NO.
This is not that hard to understand. Yuri Arbachov was p4p 6# at one point. junior jones was top 10 p4p at one point. Now if a boxer beats both of them can that boxer say he beat 2 fighters rightly classified as great hall of fame boxers?
Is junior jones & yuri arbachov great hall of fame fighters?
NO.
they are very good fighters just below hall of fame level.

So this is really a wait and see type of thread. When its time for Corralles to go the hall. Youll have no case at all.

Mayweather beat Corrales when the latter was great and in his prime, He wasnt worn out or war torn, he wasnt caught at the tail end of his career etc and Mayweather wasnt even in his prime years at that point..

oscar & marquez are no brainers. no need to mention them.
genaro has been retired since 98. his last fight? floyd mayweather jr. hmmm.
its been 12 years since he retired. He is not in the HOF. Castillo will not get in. plain & simple. i bet my nsb account that will never happen.
Gatti doesnt have the resume or the skill level & rightfully should not get in, but considering he was such a fan favorite & the tragic way he died, he could get in due to sympathy instead of boxing achievements. Same thing with diego & the way he died & was a fan favorite. both are very borderline.
but just judging from pure boxing achievement & skill level. they wont get in.
