How many of Mayweather's opponents will be HOFers?

[Breakfast Bar]

This is one way to judge the quality of competition. So how does Floyd Mayweather Jr. stack up?

Oscar is in for sure. How about Judah, Hatton, Gatti, Corrales, Castillo? I think they're all possible, but not sure-fire.

If it turns out only 1-2 make it to the HOF will it hurt his legacy? Will it be helped if 5-6 make it?

Does Genaro Hernandez make it?

I'm not sure how the HoF works but I would assume Hatton, Corrales and Castillo would make it.

EDIT: golden boy as well.

 

[XiaolinSoldier]

LOL De La Hoya, Corrales, and Castillo are the only for sures.

 

[Rinksterk**]

Judah? Gatti? I don't see them being in the HOF

 

[mschatz]

Gatti might get in, where a similarly skilled fighter might not. Guy's got a LOT of fans.

I would say DLH and Corrales for sure, and Castillo and Gatti as probables.

 

[GlassJaw]

De La Hoya is the only name that should make it at this point.

Gatti can be argued, but i'm not for it. Castillo/Corrales while elite for a period, don't make the HoF either IMHO.

Good point on Gatti. He's not the best fighter I've ever seen,but like Jim Lampley said he is the ultimate blood and guts warrior and was involved in so many grueling wars where the real winners were the fans.

 

[El Ninja]

DLH is the only shoe-in in my mind.

Do you think that hurts his all-time standing?

 

[5acrossYOeye]

The reason i named so many was because i thought everybody gets in these days.

 

[brother muzone]

Castillo doesnt make it in, certainly not on the first ballot, after the nose dive his career took when he started missing weight regularly. Corrales is borderline.

Gatti and Hatton would only make it in because of popularity, not accomplishments.

I agree its only DLH at this point.

Judah - no
Gatti - no
Corrales - no
Castillo - maybe
DLH - Yes
Genaro Hernandez - probably
Hatton - at this point no

You're loco.

Locks: ODLH, Diego, JLC
Maybes: Hatton, Genaro
Looking in: Gatti

 

[Never_Back_Down]

I think Hernandez is already a HOFer

Higher standards, we must hold the HoF.

 

[BobbyBrez]

You can make a case against Diego and JLC, they'll both be there though. Hatton too.

Couldn't you find a better picture. Awful. I am very disappointed in you...

Nice Av

Thanks indeed sir.

The Celtics have their Championship Parties at JET tomorrow and The Bank on Friday.

Opinions on the thread, by the way?
