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

      Guys like Broner and Santa Cruz will automatically get in just by being 3 and 4 weight world Champs.

      The average human doesn't realize how hard it is to get 1 world championship belt let alone 3 or 4 in different weight classes.

        It seems Hall of Fame is about popularity in some cases making Broner more than eligible.


        you guys really aren't fit for talking about the boxing hall of fame, and that's fine. there are two major categories. boxers and nonparticipants. stallone got in as a screenwriter, his movie / character rocky did so much for the sport. he is a nonparticipant.



        adrien broner is not more than eligible. he will not get into the hall of fame. if he retired tomorrow he wouldn't even be on the ballot.

        most boxers in the hall of fame are there for their skills, accomplishments, and yes, it's the hall of "fame," and a connection with the fans and writers who vote matters.

          no they will not!

          history will recognize the diluted nature of the sport in our era created by the 4 belt system and promoters gerrymandering stables into leagues.

          broner and santa cruz would need to do much, much more to get into the hall of fame!

Whenever he fights he always has high viewership numbers & is probably one of the top 5 most known fighters in boxing currently. His career in general is pretty average due to not beating any top names but he’s definitely a draw in terms of when he fights. Do you think that would be enough for him to go in even if he never beats any top names?
            Not a chance.

              He deserves to get in 4 division champion no matter if you hate him or not.

                man, stop with this garbage. gatti was an exception, most likely that won't happen again. stallone is deserving, the rocky movies are iconic and contributed alot to boxing.

                broner ain't no where near a hall of famer. making a 4 division champ, how much does that mean considering the only name on his resume witrth mentioning is malignaggi. vargas, forrest, benn, eubanks, hell even zab deserves a nod to the hall before broner.

                  Seriously if Broner get's in the HOF then that is officially the end of the HOF.

                  There are some very questionable inductees but that will truly take the cake.

                  If he even makes the ballot it would be a joke.

                      I don't know that Broner gets in honestly. He is a multi-division champ but he has zero solid wins.
