        This is probably one of the most star studded class in years.It's a pity Mosley didn't hang them up when he should have,it just seems fitting that he should go in with Delahoya and Trinidad. Calzaghe probably shouldn't be a first ballot hall of famer,but I guess after the Arturo fan boy debacle the standards have been shot to all hell and back.

          I'm so happy for Joe Calzaghe. What a fighter and he is a great person.

          He should come out of retirement and give B-Hop another beating.

            All three deserve to be in there. Trinidad and DLH, well, were two of the biggest boxing superstars of the 90's and both were champions in multiple divisions.

            Calzaghe is a top 3 all time, arguably #1, super middleweight and one of the most underappreciated and polarizing fighters I can recall.

            It's too bad that Wilfredo Vázquez has to keep waiting though.

                  I think so too. Cool Tito and Oscar made it in at the same time.
