lets say they retired today

ibhof

Is Manny already in?

Uysk even now. Probably achieve more.

Chocolito for sure.

manny's defo the top dawg among the active dudes, youre talking a legit atg there

gotta be retired for i think at least 3 years to be eligible

After watching Taka the other day, it reminded me how awesome his fight with Chocolito was, 18 bloody years ago, and Chokkie is still mixing it at the top tier or thereabouts.
Hard to have a long career in the little fellas at the top.

ya, and choco got hard done by last fight too..should be the #1 in the world at the weight still

choc made a great comeback from the sor fights, he looked like a spent fighter after that rematch. the way he took apart kal was clinical

i think he can rank above arguello even

Canelo

what about aj/fury/wilder?

Choco, PAC, Canelo, Loma, Fury and Joshua.

I was trying to think of a joke one but can’t

Think Pacquiao, Chocolatito, Canelo, Donaire are nailed on.

Close/nearly assured Nietes, Golovkin, Ioka, Inoue, Crawford, Estrada

Define HOF! For example is McGuigan the benchmark? If so you need to be the number 1 in your division, and none of the heavies have cleared out theirs yet.

Donnaire is another good call.

I hope some of the little guys get recognised. Abner Mares might not be nailed on but he had a pretty good career, but I can see popular fighters like Frampton getting in above Mares.

I think Coco is right - there is HOF and there are first picks in the HOF.

Manny for sure
Canelo for sure
Crawford mabey? (although i dont think so, but his 3 weight plus undisputed plus undefeated will have him close)
Usyk close but needs more, a heavyweight title even if from fragmentation would do it.
Mikey garcia could be near? great carrer but dont understand him wanting 147....
AJ and fury are both knocking on the door as is, If they fight winner is definant, loser still in the hunt.
GGG should be definatlthe canelo non win hurts that case, but hopefuly HOF judges have memorys
Jake paul Certified PPV legend, and brutal KO power.
Jeff horn for sure He beat the best of the era so i guess that means he is the best of the era..

Could possibly see Kovalev in with a shout, maybe even Jean Pascal as a long shot, has had a lengthy career at the top level and fought a number of big names (don't necessarily agree with this but just a thought). GGG will be in there.

Get the hornet in, no doubt.

I would say Crawford is a shoe in

Danny Green, when you beat a legend you become a legend

Pacquiao, Gonzalez, Fury, Canelo, Usyk, Kovalev, Lomachenko, Crawford, Rigondeaux, Inoue, Donaire, Golovkin.

If Taylor is undisputed in under 20 fights, he deserves it. Remarkable achievement.

Yeah, probably he joins the list soon.

Could see Leo Santa Cruz sneaking in.

Whilst it is remarkable, for me HOF is primarily about longevity, but also about the wider audience.

For me, Mike Tyson on being the Youngest Heavyweight champion alone wasn't HOF worthy - but in combination with his star power he gets in.

Beterbiev is a contender

What non world champions would people put in, I.e. gatekeepers or journeymen, these guys are just as essential to boxing as the all names mentioned above

Mcguigan got in more for uniting Ireland than his achievements. It took Naz years. Baz needs to stop carrying on or they'll kick him out.

Mickey Ward I guess will be the closest, but i cannot see him going in
