    If Broner and Leo Santa Cruz retired today?

    Would they make the International Boxing HOF? One is an undefeated 3 weight class world champ and the other is the youngest 4 division champ ever.

    Its funny because with present day boxing politics, multi division champs are almost a shoe in BUT should it really be that way considering theres like 5-6 world titles in each weight class? Doesnt this take away from the legacies of HOF multi division champs in eras where world titles were over saturated?

        No...

        It's absurd to think broner is a 4 division champ, yet only have 2 top level fights and be soundly beaten in them

        Demarco and a controversial win over ponce is not HOF material

          & I totally agree with you but I bet you with the way things are going, they wouldnt be first ballot but theyd get in. Lets see how much influence Uncle Al has on the HOF within the next decade...

            They still have standards based on who you beat, not just numbers. We're not talking BoxRec here.

                  Titles are becoming meaningless now in days. Those guys each fought one good fighter but are 3 and 4 division champions. Smh

                    And no Offense to Gatti (RIP) and his fans but he also made it with Jesse James Lejia being his career peak win. Oddly though, at Gattis peak I think hed have been a handful for Broner and p4p would bring it to LSC too.
