    They are all going to get into the HOF.

    Personally, Tarver is the least deserving but they are all going to get in due to something that they have done.

      This. Tarver isn't a HOFer. The rest are locks.

        Hopkins is the greatest fighter in this generation

        I'd remove Tarver, because he can't get in based on one win from a past prime RJJ.

        I'd put Shane in, but not first ballot. Maybe second or third. There has to be some sort of penalty for cheating

          Only Tarver is not worthy.

            Toney is without the slightest doubt among the most HOF worthy locks of any fighter on that list. He is the definition of a HOF great. Maybe it;'s because you guys have forgotten how long he's been around and what achieved or you just don't like him, but he's more of a HOF champ than most on that list. He ticks every box for HOF greatness: Resume-check, skill-check, longevity-check, adversity-check, titles and weight divisions-check....Apart from laziness there is nothing more that Toney could have done really.

            There are quite a lot of guys still fighting that are HOFers or borderline HOFers. Arce, Darchinyan, Calderon, Holyfield, Rafa Marquez, Casamayor, Winky, Pongsaklek Wonjongkam, Montiel, Veerhapol Sahaprom (though I think he's finally retired which is good to see) Cotto, etc.

            All of these guys deserve looks and some are locks too.

              This.. but will the Mitchell Report effect Mosley's chance of getting in at all? Before all that BS came out, I figured he would of been a lock. I wonder if the voters will shun him like baseball old timers are doing to today's players when they become eligible for the HOF

                A better question asked would have been which of the fighters listed are ATG's?

                  People are forgetting Tarver was a top LH for many years. I used to talk mad shit about Tarver but then someone showed me that and it made me think twice.
