induct ottke or shut the hall down.

^^^^^^^^

This.

If retiring a Household Name like "Arturo Gatti's Big Brother" and all the rest of the guys he fought, Doesn't make him Canastota Bound in 2012, I don't know what I'll say. Probably Nothing though.

What a load of bollocks! Poorly written, ill-informed, shoddy, lazy, crappy article.
This moron Fitzsimmons lists Tarver but not J M Marquez.
What an idiot.

[mattr]

The BWAA sure do accept all sorts of non-en****** these days.
This guy has J M Lopez on his joke list. Arf arf.
What a tool.

Lyle, what's wrong with you?

Juanma isnt going and if Tarver gets in its only because he dethroned superman, that Green win was good but not HOF worthy.

If Tarver goes, it is certainly for his ko of Jones. Overall, Tarver's career is not hall worthy. And, let's be honest, the more Roy fights, the less value that victory has.

juanma a hall of famer? wheres his signature win? past his prime rafa? where is rafa's brother juan on this list?

[nycsmooth]

Pure trsh w/the exception of 3...Juanma? please? Tarver...get real...and it can go on...

On that list, the guys who I think I will have on my ballot when the time comes are as follows:

Manny Pacquiao
Floyd Mayweather
Wladimir Klitschko
Miguel Cotto
Andre Ward
Amir Khan

Ward and Khan are guesses to me because I don't know what their careers will look like in five years. I'm saying that if they continue on the path they are, they will be IBHOF material.
