Morales shouldn't have to wait. He should be allowed into the HOF ASAP
damn straight, should have just been inducted in Saturday night in the ring, IMO not only did he make history, he also jumped ahead of Barrera in terms of greatness, not downplaying Marco's accomplishments at all but lets face it both of them are linked foreverQuote:

He has little chance against either guy in my opinion, but if he had to fight one, then Bradley would be the better choice as at least he would mix it up with Morales, not play keep away like Khan.Quote:

Doesn't help or hurt his legacy one bit, IMO.Quote:

I get that you love Morales. The guy has definitely achieved a lot. All I'm saying is that beating a no-namer like Cano doesn't make his legacy any better or worse than it was. I don't get how that's even an arguable point.
Agree 100%Quote:
