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

[Elver Gota]

I’m going to lol if Tim Bradley or Jorge Arce gets in so early

Arce accomplished way more than Bradley. Arce belongs in the HOF Bradley doesn't.

The hate for Tim Bradley is astonishing. I guess we'll ignore that he 10-2'd Marquez?

Marquez is naturally much smaller than Bradley.

[Elver Gota]

Can't cristisize Bradley getting in when Arturo Gatti got in immediately. They even waved the mandatory years one should wait to get in for him. Bradley's career s**ts all over gattis and it's not even close.

I completely agree with you, but Bradley doesn't deserve to be in the HOF and neither does Gatti. Gotti was a punching bag every time he fought someone with a pulse.

[Elver Gota]

Let’s be honest he is only in cuz he got murdered.

That and he drew huge ratings on HBO. Gatti was limited, but he was very exciting to watch against lower tier opposition.

I agree with what you're saying, if the classification for getting into the hall of fame is for great fighters. But the bar has clearly been lowered. When you compare who froch has faced and beaten to other hall of famers like Gatti and Naz, a strong argument can be made for him.

Hammed is way above Froch and Gatti. Hammed deserves to be there, Froch and Gatti don't belong in the HOF.

Arce accomplished way more than Bradley. Arce belongs in the HOF Bradley doesn't.

He’s not a first ballot though. He has a chance down the line

Froch, Naseem, Tommy Morrison, Gerry Cooney and Ricky Hatton all drew large crowds are we adding them in too?

Most of them have been in exciting fights also.

That's easy. Only 3 of them are HOF worthy. Froch, Hopkins and Marquez. I don't include drug cheats like Mosley.

We all know Mosley is going in first ballet.

Bradley beat Manny the first time? Hahahahahahahahaha.

You stay American and Black, you hear me? LOL.

Bradley didn’t even have a large American or African American following lol. Pointless / racist reply back.

If i was a judge I wouldn’t vote Bradley in. I feel like if he gets in a lot of borderline people would get in.

I don’t think Bradley is better then Kosta
