What a fighter Rosario was great chin, an electrifying punch, good boxing skills, my question is do you guys think he deserves to get into the IBHOF?
I think he should.

I guess on his first half cause he basically threw away the latter stage of his prime.
Rosario always had a great hart and came to fight he bombed away livingston Bramble like he was nothing, he stopped Ramirez who had an exceptionaly strong chin in the rematch and even in defeat against Chavez he showed the heart of a champion. The IBHOF has many fighters that IMO didn't deserve it if they can get in then Rosario should as well just my opinion though.

You mean he was stopped BY Ramirez in the rematch.

As for getting in the Hall, he certainly isn't worse than some of the other bums that they've cluttered it with.
If Jose Torres can get in, anyone can!!

I liked watching him fight, but he's not deserving of the Hall of Fame.

Chavez smothered most of Rosario's punches their for he gave him no room to unload his bombs, Rosario did however land some clean shots flush on the chin but chavez showed no effect. Rosario gave it his all but Chavez was just to relentless and kept pressure during the whole fight, Chavez blows take a toll own you if you take em flush and thats what happen with Rosario it was too much for him, it was a great fight though.

Thank You!! Looks like Terap and I saw the same fight for a change. One of the worst decisions ever.

If you don't like it, you can blame a certain mod who pointed out some of your past posts to me.
Ali's pr is the most overblown, fraudulent pr in the history of the disgusting shill media.
True, but your obvious dislike of the guy personally was apparent in some of your posts. And after reading several of your recent ones, I see that you hate women too.

Loved Rosario's style, very exciting to watch and my favourite fighter along with Ray Mancini. Not sure about Hall of fame - I don't he achieved enough during his career.

Rosario along with Luis Rodrigues shold go into the Hall.
Terap, I saw the Ali Young fight it was a close fight in my recollection.
Remember, Ali landed body punches that also have to be scored.
I would like to see the fight on Espn 2 to refresh my recollection.
The Jimmy Young Ken Norton fight was one that trully could have gone
either way.
