Don't think Guerrero name should be mentioned among the names you mentioned. Personally don't think Donaire or Vic D are HOF material either.
Persoanlly think HoF for all sports should be just for the elite of the elite and had long consistent great careers not just athletes That had a hot year or two.

I hear agreements for Vic Darchiyan, Tomas Adamek, and Nonito Donaire.
Obviously Nonito is the most obvious choice and here are his accolades --
Nonito Donaire
One of 12 fighters to win legit titles in 4 divisions (112, 118, 122, 126).
Beat the best fighter at the time in 3 divisions (Darchinyan, Montiel, Nishioka).
Beat a ton of then current, past, or future titlists.
Based on some of the comments in this thread, here is an updated list with changes for future HOFer:
Roy Jones - tentative (PED allegation)
Bernard Hopkins
James Toney - tentative (PED allegation)
Vlad Klitchko
Floyd Mayweather
Manny Pacquaio
Robert Guerrero
Miguel Cotto
Juan Manuel Marquez
Shane Mosley
Carl Froch
Sergio Martinez (he might not get in on the first ballot however)
Nonito Donaire (he might not get in on the first ballot however)Last edited by Queen_Leia; 06-17-2014, 11:35 AM.

I think that both need to define their legacy a little more but their fight next month will be a good place to start.
