Would you say Ward or EDIson Miranda or even Khan were exciting?
THey are all the same so if Gatti is HoF caliber and exciting then these too should be in there too, don’t you think?

This list has Tarver for heaven’s sake!! Tarver is only remembered for his KO of Roy. He literally did shït after that

Do you think khan or miranda had as great of fights as gatti?

Between the two of them they have 1 fight of the year. Gatti has 4.

Only a handful of fighters have ever achieved 4+. Wanna take a guess as to if theyre in the hof or not?

[ShoulderRoll]

"very exciting" is a bit of an understatement for gatti's career though, don't you think?

Eh. He was fun to watch, sure.

But there have been other fighters who were fun to watch too. I don't think that merits lowering the standards for entry into the Hall.

They made a movie about Micky Ward with A list actors??? Just sayn

Wahlberg knows

Hopkins and JMM seem surefire, sorry but Mosley is a verified cheat and should be punished by waiting a few years. Sergio Martinez is the next logical choice.

[Cadet Bonespurs]

Gatti getting in lowered the standards.

[1hourRun]

it's the hall of fame ballot, man, they will stay on that list for years and years and probably never make it in. look at the rest of the "fringe" names, some have been on there for decades

Bro, with recent names that have entered I don't feel good about those names being presented for consideration to enter the HOF. The bar is very low.

Good Point! Actually Great point! I’d rather vote for a fighter who gives you their everything over a supreme talented boxer that just coasts to wins

Man - it doesn't seem like it's been 5 years since Marquez and The Cobra Froch were in a boxing ring.

[OnePunch]

A special case why? I'm sure Jorge Arce was considered very exciting by Mexicans but he doesn't belong in the Hall either.

Arce won titles in 4 divisions. I constantly see people posting that the same feat makes Broner a 1st ballot HOFer.........

Even if you feel that he did not deserve to get in on that basis, can we at least all acknowledge that that's what the IBHOF was thinking when they let him in?

Like it's just silly for people to say so and so is better than Gatti, so they should get in too.

I bet you haven't seen any people post that. I certainly haven't.
