    Default ESPN's Boxing Hall Of Fame articles

    ESPN Boxing just came out with these two pretty good articles on sure locks for the boxing hall of fame and guys that are on the bubble, here is the breakdown:

    Sure things
    ========================================
    Marco Antonio Barrera (62-4, 42 KOs)
    Julio Cesar Chavez (107-6-2, 88 KOs)
    Oscar De La Hoya (38-4, 30 KOs)
    Roberto Duran (103-16, 70 KOs)
    Thomas Hearns (61-5-1, 48 KOs)
    Larry Holmes (69-6, 44 KOs)
    Evander Holyfield (38-8-2, 25 KOs)
    Bernard Hopkins (46-4-1)
    Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson (44-5, 28 KOs)
    Roy Jones Jr. (49-4, 38 KOs)
    Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 KOs)
    Ricardo Lopez (51-0-1, 38 KOs)
    Floyd Mayweather Jr. (36-0, 24 KOs)
    Erik Morales (48-4, 34 KOs)
    James Toney (69-4-3, 43 KOs)
    Felix Trinidad (42-2, 35 KOs)
    Kostya Tszyu (31-2, 25 KOs)
    Mike Tyson (50-6, 44 KOs)
    Pernell Whitaker (40-4-1, 17 KOs)

    On the Bubble
    ========================================
    Joe Calzaghe (41-0, 31 KOs)
    Arturo Gatti (40-7, 31 KOs)
    Naseem Hamed (36-1, 31 KOs)
    Genaro Hernandez (38-2-1, 17 KOs)
    Virgil Hill (50-5, 23 KOs)
    Rafael Marquez (35-3, 31 KOs)
    Dariusz Michalczewski (48-2, 38 KOs)
    Sugar Shane Mosley (42-4, 36 KOs)
    Sven Ottke (34-0, 6 KOs)
    Manny Pacquiao (41-3-2, 33 KOs)
    Veerapol Sahaprom (52-3-2, 37 KOs)
    Johnny Tapia (55-5-2, 28 KOs)
    Winky Wright (50-3, 25 KOs)
    Pongsaklek Wonjongkam (61-2, 31 KOs)

    I'm a little surprised about Winky, Shane, and JoeCal. His explanations on Shane and JoeCal make sense though. I don't even see how the fuck Gatti on the bubble, Dan Rafael basically just said Gatti should be on because he's exciting. Fucking idiot, Gatti is a club fighter and has been demolished anytime he's faced real competition. The article also explain why guys are sure locks and what guys on the bubble have to do to become sure locks. Check it out.

    Wow, I didn't know Hearns record was 61-5-1 (4 He has alot of fights! I thought he was more in the amount of fights Ray Leonard or Jones had.. The man has been in alot of fights since he fought Ray in 1989. He was 46-3 then. No wonder he is shopworn. He has 67 fights like Marvin Hagler has.
