Who of Mayweather's opponents will make it to the IBHOF on merit?
ODLH, Marquez and Mosley are definitely hall of fame bound. Hernandez, Hatton, Castillo, Corrales are questionable and I don't believe Gatti will make it in on merit although maybe on popularity. Agree?

Isn't that enough?
I would say there is a very high possibilty of all of those getting in, especially as many of the possibles have tragically died.
He may yet fight a few more as well.
It's not impossible that if Ortiz went on to do great things after losing, and he fights and beats Manny that he may end up with wins in double figures over Hall of Fame fighters, especially if Castill gets in and you count him twice.

In my opinion these four are almost certainly getting in the hall of fame.
Mayweather has a better resume than many like to pretend.
He still missed out on fights with Cotto, Margarito, Casamayor, Freitas, Tzyu, etc.
But, he did beat some outstanding fighters.
Oh and he LOST to Castillo the first time.

Stallone made it for crying out loud...Augustus is a lock!!!

You missed out Zab a two weight world champion and former undisputed Welterweight Champ.
