Do you think Broner will get in the HOF based on drawing power?

        He could of course but he would need a couple or 3 classic fights like Gatti did. Currently the only borderline classic fight he has is the one where Maidana kicks the krap out of him

            If its about boxing He gets in, 4 div champ. Gatti did what? boxing wise? He showed he can keep getting punched in the face....no disrespect, but his most famous fight (gatti) was getting embarrassed severely by TBE ( and got ko'd)

              Not for his selling power, but he is a four division champ, so that may be enough to get him in. Not a first ballot HOF'er, but eventually. Expect standards for the HOF to drop in the next decade as fighter's careers get shorter and the talent pool gets increasingly shallow.

                  What selling power. How many ppvs has he sold?

                  He’s a bootleg wanna be Floyd. He fails.

                    He shouldn't. Drawing power should have nothing to do with it. It should be about accomplishments in the ring. If he gets in then Vargas, Porter and Maidana should get in as well. However things aren't always fair and he may get in because of the hype he always seems to get.He is famous even if he isn't very good. Everyone knows who he is.

                      Broner probably will get in. Gatti was a very popular boxer and probably didn't deserve to get in on fighting ability. Broner is a 4 weight champ so that will probably be enough. Was Broner ever the best fighter in the world in any of those 4 weight classes? I don't think so. Has Broner ever been thought of as a top 10 or even a top 20 pound for pound boxer? I don't think so. It seems like for a boxer to be hall of fame worthy he should have at least been a top 10 pfp guy for a little while. But maybe that is not longer a requirement.
