    I don't agree. Yes, once upon a time he was a pound for pounder but HOF? Err...

      Froch beats Ward by murder. That's my thought.

          I don't agree with it, at all.

          It's got to a stage when they're just going to put anyone in the HOF.

          I mean, Too Sharp? A HOF'er?

          If Too Sharp did enough to be a HOF'er then there's plenty others who do.

          I imagine the likes of Booker, Cocoa Kid, Kingpetch, Lytell, Tiger Jones and the long list of actual HOF calibur fighters will never be inducted while the likes of Too Sharp, Cotto and the rest of them will be.

            that really lowers the bar as to who should be considered a hall of famer.

            Tarver is guaranteed now.

              It's got to that stage. Where we are saying "If so and so why not so an so?"

              Down the line even lesser deserving fighters are going to be inducted.

                does being in the hall of fame mean he'll actually have a chance at being famous now?

                  Nothing wrong with Cotto being in the hall of fame buddy. Dude fought everyone, only lost to Pacquiao really, and from we saw on sat. still has something left in his tank. Hell be a shoe-in when he retires
                  but i can see what your saying
