    I agree, and no catch weight. He should defend his middleweight title at 160 at least once.

    I do not consider Cotto to be MW champion until he has at least one defense without a catchweight against a top middleweight contender. Canelo obviously will not fit those criteria.

      I understood the question to be asking whose careers as they are now, would go into the HOF. So while some may continue to fight and earn their way into the HOF at a later point, I only voted for those I think are HOF worthy up to now.

      Marquez and Klitschko are easily HOF, and I voted for Cotto as well.

          I ticked all except Garcia, Ward and Cotto...

          The HOF is pretty easy going and these guys are all good boxers..

          Ward and Cotta could easily be put on to it's just that Cotta lost to his good opponents and chose to fight wimps otherwise and Ward basically flushed his career down the toilet because he is a wimp!

            Marquez, Klitschko, Cotto.

            As for the others, no.

            Tarver, Ward - 50/50. I wouldn't do it.

            Tim Bradley? Come on people. His 2nd best win is Devon Alexander. Not HOF!

              will definitely get in.

              Why put that cheat Tarver on that list?
              Same boxers that I selected. Khan, Garcia, and Stevenson on the list though? LMAO...

                  Marquez and Tarver are steroid cheats, they should be scratched off any list.

                      He is a two division champion, unified 140, has wins over Peterson, Holt, JMM, Alexander, Casa Mayor, Vasquez, Witter, Provonikov and, on paper, Pac. With a win tonight, he will again be a title holder (on paper) for the second time at 147 and will have been the first to beat Vargas, just as he was with Alexander and Peterson.

                      Also, the only fighter to be able to really best him was Pac, the draw in his last fight with Chaves was garbage. The guy has the heart and gamesmanship that very few of the guys on that list have. I think Bradley would beat all of the WW guys over at PBC with the exception of Mayweather. He may not be a once in a generation level boxer but he is several steps above 95% of his peers.
