Re: Is Darchinyan Hall of Fame bound?
I actually got the thread idea from another boxing site...thought I'd recreate it here
Sorta off topic....but has there ever been a 3 weight world champion left out of the hall? I was thinking that's sort of like the 500 home run club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: Is Darchinyan Hall of Fame bound?
Vic' style went against him in the end, his best fight was Arce. He could punch and he was awkward, but this limited him considerably. Mares was an unlucky fight for him, although i believe he lost that fight, he never got the automatic rematch he deserved. Vic is now done and dusted, he won't get a big fight in the USA again. Vic needed to beat Donaire or Mares in a rematch to be a Hall Of Famer, that will never happen now.

Re: Is Darchinyan Hall of Fame bound?
True, Vic failed in all 3 super big fights. Agbeko won a clear decision and Donaire KO'd him. The Mares fight deserved another match up, he is too old now. If anything Vic had people talking about the little guys again which is where you find the best fights anyway! Vic just fell short when it counted, i guess he wasn't boring!don't forget Agbeko

Re: Is Darchinyan Hall of Fame bound?
Hall of Fame is thrown around much too easily. No matter what the sport, I've always thought Halls of Fams should be reserved for the truly deserving. Otherwise, it just cheapens it for everybody else. Nothing personal, but if Darchinyan is HOF... then a host of other fighters should be in there too. And I don't think it should be that easy to get in there.
Just saying....

Re: Is Darchinyan Hall of Fame bound?
The first guy Vic beat for the world title, Irene Pacheco THAT guy was very good. I remember watching it live on TV and Vic was losing until these damn fireworks went off that delayed the fight for about 10 mins, when the fight resumed Vic got the upperhand and eventually stopped him.
Pacheco has to be up there with Mijares on Vic's resume.
And yes Vic brought a lot of excitement to the little guys, he was/is a jerk and resembles a goose but boy was he effective.

Sure why not. If Barry McGuigan is in then the standards are set pretty low, no?
