    Maybe Donaire & Kessler too.
    Mosley,wonjonghkam and Morales-yes. Sergio, Arce and John-I'm not sure if they get the required votes.

    Froch-Laced if Ward isn't going then neither is froch.

      Froch is a dead cert for hall of fame.

      Ward is not a part in that. Their careers are not similar. Froch has had more fights and a lot more big fights than Ward - and has come out on top.

        Absolutely not. Andre himself sure thinks so though.

          we can agree to disagree. does he have any wins over any other HOF'ers? He's a good fboxer but he isn't as great as the sure fire guys mentioned above.

            Ward and Froch are not Hall of Famers yet.

              Agreed.

              People love to throw Froch at Ward....and sometimes the small details do not equal a correct larger picture. Small details: 12 world title fights versus 7, Active, regular schedule versus inactivity... BIG DETAIL Froch TOTALLY OUTCLASSED BY WARD, WARD beat the man who was condsidered pound for pound one of the best fighters at the time, (Dawson) and beat the best common opponent between the two (Kessler).

              You can say Ward is undeserving but don't compare Froch to Ward. Resume Schmezume!

                  Yes, he has a much better record than many of the fighters in the hall of fame.

                    If his career had a tragic ending he would probably get in. But not by voluntarily sidelining himself with legal bull****.

                      I am a Ward fan and I say no. The problem for Ward is that he started getting a name then he ran into all these promotional problems and hasn't been fighting.
