    Johnny Tapia should be imo....on another note, he checked back into rehab just two days after being released from rehab . Hes fighting some serious demons. Good luck to him.

    Johnny is a bonafied legend.....I do not doubt his induction at all.....

    Glen Johnson is boarder line-----He is worthy he has fought almost everyone...KO'd Jones.....He is one of those guys that get inducted 10 years after retiring...

    PoPO is POO POO and I doubt it...

    Maybe Johnson and Tapia but definitely not popo, you can't be hall of fame when you go out like that.

    Tapia should be Hall of Fame. Johnson had a good career, but not HOF worthy. Freitas should be in the cowards Hall of Fame

    Yea Tapia should make it... Glen johnson maybe.. I hate to use the standard bottom end measuring stick, but if Barry Mcguigan is in there...(poor guy ). Glen might be in there if he has another legacy defining fight, win or lose... He could beat jones again, maybe be in a great fight against Calzaghe, Kessler, Winky, Hopkins, etc. Freitas no.

    I think glen johnson is the greatest journey men around our era. Very underrated, but he has fought a lot of good ones. I think his great but Hall of fame is questionable. Tapia maybe and popo in his hometown yes his a hall of famer, he was undefeated and a k.o artist. Again though his questionable.

    I don't think Glen Johnson is worthy of Hall Of Fame then again neither are Barry Mcguigan or Pipino Cuevas imo.

    I think Gatti and Corrales deserve to be there not so much for ability but for the number of crowd pleasing moments they gave.

    I think Sven Otke should be there. He frequently travelled outside of Germany chalking up KO wins

    Popo, I don't think so. He had a good start, but after his not that clear victory over Casamayor, and further quits, he lost that opportunity. He was KO by Barrios, but saved by the referee before he came back for his win by KO. Johnson, he KO Jones... But, not sure of this.

    Agreed....Many people tend to confuse the HOF as a place just for guys who were great...It is not solely aboyt wins and losses....It is about how much a guy contributes to the sport...how many great bouts....how many times he represented the sport at it's best by going all out every time,,,showing heart,,courage at it's finest....Thats what the HOF is about
