    Cotto would need to fight Golovkin, win or lose, to gain admission in my book. Blatantly ducking a fighter gives anyone a black mark next to their name which must be erased to gain admission to the HOF in my eyes.
    Nah. It annoys me that he is holding the lineal title hostage, but in legacy terms he doesnt have to fight him.

    I would not hold it against him if he dropped the title. Same people didnt hold it against RJJr when he dropped the HW title.

      JMM, Bradley, Wlad, Cotto are all in. Ward is very close.

        The only three would be Klitchko, Marquez and Cotto. Bradley still hasn't done enough. Neither has Khan. Garcia is proving to be a hype job.

        Personally I don't feel Cotto belongs but he will be put in because of his win over old Mosley and broken Martinez.

          Because Jones Didn't belong, as well as Cotto at Middleweight.

            Tim: Pac, Marquez, Provo, Alexander and Peterson

            Danny: Khan, Matthysse, Peterson, Morales and Judah

            Those are two very good resumes and unless they both drop off dramatically, they will deserve to make it into the HoF.
            Morales & Judah were at the lowest point in their careers when Garcia beat them. Morales retired after losing to Danny & the gun shy Judah lost to Malignaggi immediately after his loss to Danny. Peterson was a W for Danny but he wasn't impressive at all.

                  I would not hold it against him if he VOLUNTARILY dropped the title. In that case I would not object to his induction. If he refuses to do so and continues to try to avoid GGG or is forcibly stripped of the title, then I do not think he deserves entry. I did not bother to include that in my last post as I do not believe Cotto will willingly vacate the belt.

                      My picks..........

                      My picks were Klitschko, Cotto, Marquez, Ward, and Bradley. I feel that what Ward did in the Super Six, and his win over Dawson made him a HOF'mer. As for my selection of Bradley, he is on the fence right now. The rest of his career could go either way. The win tomorrow night will mean nothing but he has to win. A couple more wins over A, B+ fighters, and he should get in.
