    I believe Castillo, Corales, AND Hatton will be inducted eventually.

      Barrera was definitely a good win. I rate underdog wins very highly (Greb vs Tunney, Pac vs Barrera, Pac vs Lehlo, Floyd vs Corrales, Ayala vs Tapia) and Pac has a lot of them. Call it circumstance or whatever, but he won.

Beat Tszyu (in the HOF), Collazo, Urango, Lazcano, and Malingaggi. Had other wins over Maussa and Stewart. If you seriously compare the resume's of Tszyu (who's in) to Corrales-Castillo-Genaro-Hatton, it's very similar.

        Hatton only failed against the top fighters from that era. It's very similar to Floyd Patterson when he fought at HW. Patterson was the man until he ran, just failed in his biggest fights (Liston and Ali). Patterson has Archie Moore, Roy Harris, Ingemar Johansson, Tom McNeeley, Eddie Machen, Henry Cooper, and Oscar Bonavena on his resume. Solid but failed in his biggest fights.
        Floyd didnt beat the 140 Hatton who beat Tszyu at 140 and ring champ for 4 years at 140. Floyd beat Hatton at 147 who did nothing much in this weight division. So even if Hatton became a HOF fighter later on, Floyd win against bloated 147 Hatton will prove nothing.

          Stop it. Hatton is bloated at pretty much any weight before middleweight

            Well, which one is the better win?

            After the Oscar fight at 147, Pac moved down to 140 and ko Hatton in 2 or Floyd ko 10 Hatton in Floyds own weight division 147?

              I thought the question was what Prime (future)HOF'er is in Floyd resume.

              Now the question is who had the better win?

                  I'll take the 147 lb Hatton over the uber coked out Hatton who retired right after the Pacquiao loss.

                    You may wonder why Hatton retired after the Pac fight and so did Oscar? Because Pac gave them an ending career beating. Floyd cant do it in the course of 22 rounds while Pac did it in the matters of just 10 rounds.

                      Hernandez retired after the Floyd fight, and for good reason. Those guys were not prime when Pac fought them. Sorry. Marquez was though!
