    through the last decade id have to say....

    Lennox Lewis
    Roy Jones Jnr
    Bernard Hopkins
    Joe Calzaghe
    Floyd Mayweather
    Marco Antonio Barerra
    Erik Morales
    Manny Pacquiao

    all have proved themselves HOFers that`ll be remembered for years to come.

    The likes of holyfield, de-la hoya, tyson, Mosley etc will always have question marks over their status`s as true ring greats unlike the mentioned above!

    Holyfield has a question mark!? Undisputed Cruiserweight champion and the only 4-time-Heavyweight-champion-of-the-world?

    Sure, he went on too long and ended up embarressing himself but so did Sugar Ray Robinson and Roberto Duran

    There is no question mark over tyson for the simple reason "youngest champ ever" if that bis not enough what is
    Holyfiel 4 time world champion that is easily enough
    Look at some of the people in the hall tyson and holyfield are guaranteed

    It looks like this is as much of a popularity contest, or a making an splash thing, than it is a p4p ability/achievement thing.

    Hmmm, i agree with tyson, holyfield and de la hoya without a doubt, but not sure mosely should be a first ballot hall of famer.

    Mosley is/was a great fighter, dont put him on the level of holyfield, tyson and de la hoya though. Just my opinion.

    I find it odd that Taylor would have no chance while Kessler is considered a
    "maybe". Taylor's beaten Hopkins twice and drawn with Wright. Kessler has beaten Mundine and lost to Calzaghe. Am I missing something?

    Alright how on gods green earth does Evander Holyfeild have a question mark the man has been unifed CW champion and best to ever to touch that weight no one can touch him there i mean no one. He has been the heavyweight champion more times then anyone has anyone even Ali. His resume is up with the likes of Ali, Foreman and Lewis and he has fought any fighter worth something in the last 20 years and he gets a question mark you know what fuck you hattonhammer dumbess thing i heard ever.

    Alright then you say that Shane Mosley has a question mark now that is something i have to say. the man look like a god at LW and was champion LW, WW, and SMW and beat the golden boy when he was on top and Shane Mosley moved up fomr LW to WW not to mention at one point he was consider to be the best and pound for pound number one as well.
