Comments Thread For: Hopkins, Marquez Among Loaded First-Time Hall of Fame Ballot Entries

[JLC]

Carl Froch?... lol

My thoughts exactly !

[Jab jab boom]

Yes an old Marquez who was at a weight not his

doesn't matter, Bradley whooped Marquez just 10 months after the best win of Marquez career. It's a credible win regardless.

Bradley got a bogus gift with Pac beat an old small marque and went life n death with Provo.

Not impressive at all

He beat Memo’s Marquez. The one with the acne on his back. The one that put Pacquiao to sleep.

Bradley was underdog in that fight and beat him clean and easy.

Unified w Kendall Holt. Then was stripped.

Unified w Devon Alexander giving him his first L. Again stripped.

I think TB had a nice career. Not FBHOF nice, but pretty nice. Dude probably had about 4-5 title reigns across two divisions and they weren’t against a bunch of bums and no hopers. He he beat someone like Cotto at 154 I would say he’d be a HOF lock. But as it stands I def think he gets in sooner rather than later.

Carl Froch?... lol

is it really that laughable? I mean, we can always go to the, “compare his career to Gatti“, argument but aside from that, froch has wins over pascal, Jermain Taylor, Abraham, Kessler, Glen Johnson, an undefeated Bute, and groves. Is that not credible enough?

[Larry the boss]

did they change the time from 5 years retired to 3 years retired?

[Larry the boss]

ok i see the rule was changed....so Floyd gets in next year

. The crowded field comes as a result of several changes to the voting criteria, including modern-day participants now only having to wait three years into retirement to make their way to the ballot as opposed to the previous rule of a minimum five-year waiting period.

He's got better wins than Corrales and Casamayor, as far as I'm concerned. Those guys are real borderline HOF. Don't get me wrong, I loved watching them fight. HOF fame, tho?

Correct ^^^^

[Removed Now]

I think him being mudered is why he got in so quickly, but they were voting him in whether he truly deserved it or not regardless.

Fat dan form espn started that nonsense.

Guy has a string of quality wins, and only lost twice , to Kessler on a close decision in Denmark, and on points to Ward. He avenged the Kessler loss too.
WBC (twice), IBF and WBA champion. That's a very impressive career by anyone's standards.
