Is Vernon Forrest a HOF'er

[Gettin Jiggy]

yes. he's just as worthy as barry mcguigan who is in it!

[Obama]

I believe Forrest is the only man to knock down Shane Mosley, amateur or professional. That's 1 KD in over 400 fights. It wasn't a case of a slip or being off balance either. To Mosley's credit, that would have knocked nearly anyone else out.

excellent point, Barry McGuigan is in , so Forrest will be in.

Because Barry McGuigan is white and only achieved half of what Naseem Hamed did

[TheCheetah]

Forrest is a hall of famer in my eyes.

Hamed I believe will be inducted soon as he is eligible for induction. Only 3 men who are eligible that have won The Ring Fighter of the Year award have not been inducted(Gus Lesnevich, Donald Curry and Paulie Ayala). Forrest was a better fighter than McGuigan, Pipino Cuevas and Eddie Perkins, so I feel he belongs if they are in.

[Obama]

Uhhh, I wouldn't go so far to say he was better than Cuevas. Prime Cuevas was a beast.

Hamed I believe will be inducted soon as he is eligible for induction.

Hamed already is eligible and he will never...ever be inducted into the hall of fame.I look at the likes of Wilfredo Gomez,Carlos Zarate,Daniel Zaragoza and I really don't see how their reseme's qaulifies as being greater than Naseem Hamed

seeing as how many like to pick apart and dismiss Hameds wins and accomplishments,The very same can even more easily be done to these three particular men

The only real difference is that we have been told to believe who was great and who was not,who had had heart and who did not without realising the circumstances which surround such accusations
