    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.

        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.

            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.

                  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.
