lots of sparring partners beat muhammad ali in sparring. it doesnt mean anything. its sparring. lots of great fighters dont take sparring seriously. they use it to get work in. only imbeciles of the highest order would make your point.

Depends on what happens in the future.
There's a very good chance that on top of De La Hoya, Mosley, Marquez, and Cotto being in the HOF one day, fighters like Genaro, Corrales, Castillo, and even Hatton have a shot at possibly getting on someday.

Corrales also has a shot eventually as well. 4x champ in 2 weight class, wins over Garcia-Manfredy-Gainer-Casamayor-Freitas-Castillo.
Hatton has a shot as well. 3x champ in 2 weight class, wins over Tszyu-Urango-Maussa-Lazcano-Malignaggi, the Tszyu win helps him a lot. Even though Tszyu was past his prime-still good, he was still #3 P4P and the linael JWW champ when Hatton beat him.
Mosley and Oscar were past their prime but they were still good fights at those times. Oscar was a Top SWW, the only legit title holder there other then Spinks. And Mosley was #3 P4P, WBA WW champ, and one of the top 1-2 WW's after he beat Margarito down. He was considered the man at 147 when Floyd fought him.
And Marquez was past his prime-still good, and arguably just beat Manny at the same weight. Floyd should get some props for that, and Marquez was #2 P4P at the time. Not an ATG win or anything, but a solid/good win for sure now that he proved he can fight well at that weight.

^You're shorting Genero here. I give him a better chance of making the hall of fame than Castillo.
