I'm sure there are some choices that are pretty obvious, but there are other fighters that are up and coming and have potential to be great, let's see who the members think will make the hall of fame.

Korobov was very impressive in the fight you guys showed a little while back. Cool-headed, precise, incredible force.
Damn, I'd give Andredade a slot just for that fight against Kessler...I've never seen a man get his head knocked around so much and still be present and smiling afterwards!

We are sad to report that former world champion Vernon Forrest was tragically and senselessly murdered at about 11PM on Saturday night in Atlanta during an attempted carjacking. Reportedly Forrest had stopped at a gas station to put air in the tire of his late model Jaguar when two thugs attempted to take his vehicle. Forrest had a firearm and a chased away his assailants but according to Atlanta police, in an ensuing firefight Forrest was shot eight times with semi-automatic weapons.

i think darchinian could be hall of fame worthy. Chad dawson definitely if he keeps defending his light-heavy title, he could be one of the great light-heavies of his time.
wladimir klitschko is a lock for hall of fame now, has to be. Cory Spinks? I dont know, he was the undisputed welterweight champion so who knows. Miguel Cotto is gonna be there for sure if he keeps this up even if he losses to pacquiao.

Lontchi put up a good hit-n-run contest
for Juan Manuel Lopez in surviving into the
ninth round when JuanMa hit him with a
short sweet left following that turnover right
hook. Either the ref or corner called the fight
at the end of the round.
Another Knockdown by JuanMa in the second
round too.
He had JuanMa reaching a little with his
running but JuanMa put together a vicious
body attack that paralized Lontchi enabling
JuanMa to find his range.
JuanMa ran into a couple of good rights too
when he got in a hurry.....chin is good and
hands went right back up, lol.
That southpaw one-two was purdy!
This guy is solid.

I think the IBHOF should make a Journeyman category to honor the likes of Emanuel Augustus and Glen Johnson.

well, if wriers believe that he used it only as a SWW he may get in. Shane defeated ODLH as a WW, and in the second fight they fought at SWW. His other fight at SWW he lost, so he didn't get any benefit from the roids.
Unless there is more to the story, Shane might get in.

Darchinian has stopped 3 good champions in a row and 1 of em was a p4p fighter @ the time. Williams looks like a future HOF fighter to me also-well @least now anyway

What about guys like Dawson, Haye, Arreola, Johnson, Allan Green, Berto, Darchinian, Lopez, Williams, Pavlik, Bradly, J.Diaz-J.Taylor-Bute-Forrest-Margarito-you get my point right-guys that probably need a few more or alot more fights to make the HOF list
On your list, only Dawson, JuanMa Lopez, P Dub and pale-ass Pavlik are good candidates. Victor Ortiz and Bute needs more good fights.
