Smart's Blunt Game 1 Assessment
Bradley, 39, is the biggest name among the 2023 inductees due largely to his three-fight series against Manny Pacquiao.
Nicknamed "Desert Storm," Bradley beat Pacquiao via a controversial split decision in 2012 to win the WBO welterweight title. The win improved Bradley's record to 29-0, and it served as only the fourth loss of Pacquiao's illustrious career.
Bradley would face Pacquiao again in 2014 and 2016, with Pac-Man winning both of those bouts by unanimous decision.
The two losses to Pacquiao were the only major blemishes in a pro career that lasted from 2004 to 2016. The 33-2-1 Bradley also scored a notable split-decision win over fellow Hall of Famer Juan Manuel Márquez in 2013.
Froch is a 45-year-old native of England who was an active professional boxer from 2002 to 2014.
"The Cobra" compiled an impressive 33-2 record and held multiple notable championships, including the WBC super middleweight title, which he won in a bout against Jean Pascal in 2008.
Froch also beat the likes of Jermain Taylor and Glen Johnson in his career. His only losses came against Mikkel Kessler and Andre Ward, although he avenged the Kessler loss with a unanimous-decision win in 2013.
Rafael Márquez fought professionally from 1995 through 2013, posting a 41-9 record with 37 of his victories by way of knockout.
The 47-year-old Márquez was born in Mexico City, and he experienced success in the bantamweight, super bantamweight and featherweight divisions.
Márquez held the IBO, IBF, WBC and The Ring bantamweight titles, and he had a memorable rivalry with Mexican countryman Israel Vázquez, beating him by referee stoppage in 2007 before losing the two subsequent rematches by technical knockout and split decision.
