After Calderon's done toying with Mayol I hope he targets Viloria, Segura or Sosa... a fight with Gonzalez would be outstanding, as would fights with Garcia, Nietes or Sithsamerchai if they moved up. Calderon has to only fight big fights from here if he wants to be a great!

"IF he wants to be a great"? WTF are you talking about? He's already in the top 10 p4p list. He went up in weight and beat the champ at the higher division (Hugo Cazares), not once, but twice. He's undefeated, and has not come close to being defeated. He's considered one of the better pure boxers in the world today. What do you mean IF he wants to be a great? ?

he's beaten everyone put ahead of him CLEARLY and also he's no spring chicken, the man is 34 yrs old, something you don't see too often at that weight, there are rumors that he might move up in weight by the end of the year

Not clearly (see my previous post Barrera & Cazares), never fought the top guy at 105. Cazares is the best he's done & I'm sorry but one opponent is not good enough for HOF imo

ive seen mayol fight once or twice.. this fight will depend on where calderon is at his career.. if he has started to descend from the top then it will be a good shot for mayol.. otherwise.. L #3 for mayol..

IMO he beat Barrera and by a good margin, Cazares I was a bit close cause of the KD, but Cazares II was all Calderon, he easily outboxed him, and back to the Barrera fight, don't forget that he went to Barrera's backyard to give the fight

The thing about Cazares is... not only did Ivan fight the champ at a higher weight and beat him, but Cazares is the much bigger man. At 105, a jump in division tends to be more noticeable than at 160 or 168. I saw Calderon-Cazares II in person, and it was astounding to see how much bigger Cazares was. IMO, Ivan deserves all the credit in the world for those wins.

Totally agree & as I said he's one of my favorite guys, but some people thought he lost the 1st Cazares clash & the 2nd although Calderon boxed brilliantly was inconclusive.

As I said in an earlier post Cazares is the best he's fought (one many thought he lost, the other inconclusive) imo his record is not HOF worthy yet as beating one top fighter (the only guy at the top of a division that Calderon has fought) is not enough, but put a win over Viloria & Gonzalez on there & that changes!

I see your point, but to be fair there's less "household" names in the very low weights than at the more popular weights, such as WW and MW. It's rare to find the fighter ("Finito" Lopez is one) that can transcend being in the very low weights, and make people notice enough to warrant HOF consideration. That being said, Calderon has a bit more boxing left in him. Hopefully he'll tackle some of these big names you've mentioned.

Calderon's skills & the fact that he's remained unbeaten with minimal punching power will go along way towards achieving entrance into the hall, but a couple extra top names will enhance those chances!
