    Ranking Resumes- Froch, Hatton, Margarito and Castillo

    With the news that Carl Froch has retired and the consequent debate about his HOF status, I think we should rank some resumes. The four guys I would like to rank are all borderline HOFs (you can make an argument either way). Here are each fighter's best wins:

    Froch- Pascal, Kessler, Dirrell,Taylor, Bute, Abraham, Johnson.
    Hatton- Tszyu, Collazo, Malinaggi, Castillo
    Margarito- Cotto, Cintronx2, Clottey, Martinez
    Castillo- Casamayor, Johnston, Corrales, Lazcano, Diaz, Bazan

    My ranking would be Froch, Castillo, Margarito, Hatton. What are your thoughts/rankings?

    Hatton and Froch aren't borderline, they're shoe in for the HOF..Castillo should get in for his fight with Corrales imo..best fight I've ever seen..

        I would probably have Castillo, Froch, Margarito, Hatton.

        It's almost hard to kind of remember because of what ended up happening to his career with his weight and everything, but Castillo was one of the best LW's in recent years at his peak which was a good time for the division. He went years without losing to anyone not named Floyd and I think he deserved the decision in their first fight as well.

          Honestly, I could see all four guys make it in but I've seen good arguments for both sides.

          I'm not so sure that those are better wins than Paulie. I guess they're in the same neighborhood. I can't think of any noteworthy fighter either guy has beaten.

              I think Hatton and Froch will definitely get in, but there's no way Urango and especially Maussa are better wins than Paulie. The best fighter Urango beat, unless I'm really forgetting someone, was Ngoudjo who Paulie also beat.

                Maussa cold ****ed Vivian Harris to win 140 title when he was one of the better fighters around..Urango was hard punching and undefeated..both these guys are better. Than Malignaggi ever was..

                  I don't understand the argument for Hatton getting into the HOF other than beating super famous.
