Spinks heavyweight career is so overrated. It's pretty much build off 2 gift wins over Holmes.

true but his performance against a much MUCH bigger Gerry Cooney who gave Holmes some problems was awesome: check this clip Spinks was a great combination puncher, sharp and clean and accurate as all hell, dude never missed a punch:

I'm not denying Spinks was a good fighter. He was. Just his heavyweight career is overrated. Officially it stands at 4-1. But I think it should really be 2-3.

Prime Roy would have laughed out loud by Calzaghe's slaps..

They all absolutely deserve their places in the HOF.
Re: Trinidad, DLH, and Calzaghe likely to be inducted into HOF in 2014
Corley, Malignaggi, Judah, Mosley (became champion after fight) Margarito, Mayorga. Gave p4p 1 fighter Floyd Mayweather his toughest fight, loss to Pacquiao p4p at the time. But he did not duck them. Margarito loss is tainted IMO and that's on the Margarito camp.
Lesser guys have gone in. No doubt in my mind Cotto belongs in the HOF.
