There are 3 or 4 hall of famers there jd.

There are 3 or 4 hall of famers there jd.

I see 2 (ODLH and JMM), one of which was fighting 3 weight classes above his best weight (as he jumped two classes from his max weight for the fight) while Floyd blew off the catch weight limit.

Gatti will be in the hall of fame, but that is based more on what he gave the fans as opposed to merit.

I agree on Gatti. He will get in based on what he gave the fans, but that is still considered a hall of famer. The fourth one that might get in is Hatton. I know, I know he got destroyed his last 2 fights, but his career aint over yet and he lost 2 the best. He also has Castillo and Kosta on his resume which could be hall of famers. They were past their prime, but who knows maybe Hatton will get in.

Sure...if Gatti gets in the hall, he will be a hall of famer, but it's not like a win over someone getting there based how good they really were - like, say Shane Mosley.

If a fighter is truly great, and Floyd certainly has that type of skill and ability, they need to do more than the list above during their prime years.

Floyd is great. He was great before he fought at welterweight and I do believe him and Mosley will fight in 2010.

I think Floyd is a great fighter...I just think he let his prime years pass him by without building the kind of legacy his ability dictated he could have.
