And as I keep saying if hes in there then why question if Gatti deserves the honors?

IMO, once they let Barry in they pretty much open that door wider now.....
i agree i dont think barry belongs there but isnt Pipino Cuevas in hall of fame aswell despite losing to all time greats hearns and duran this is pipino record W 35 (31 ko's) | L 15 | D 0 | Total 50 i dont think he belongs there either
Yeah! an arguement can be made about him......
But come on 11 title defenses thats saying something....
You don't defend a title 11 times plus the guys he fought were ALL top contenders of the Welter. Div. at that time. His loses were either early in his career or late in his career....
What I think makes you look at it this way is that he had a short wining era meaning I think it from like '76 to '80 when he lost to Hearns. But the guy fought whomever and he fought like 4 times a year I think in those 4 years that he was champ.
