      Interesting. Don't you feel he is worthy?

      First man to defeat Roy Jones Jr properly. Held wins over Jones Jr x2, Glen Johnson, Montell Griffin, Eric Harding, Reggie Johnson, and Clinton Woods.

      Two time undisputed LHW champion and lineal champion. Surely just as good as Barry Mcguian, and Jess Willard, no?

            I think he deserves it based on his wins over the above fighters, especially the Jones wins.

              He was a good fighter, not a hall of fame fighter. The wins against Jones and Johnson came late in their careers, and he was destroyed by Hopkins who beat Johnson in his prime.

                Jones and Johnson were a bit past prime like himself, all those guys are around the same age I think. Johnson is a better fighter at lhw than he was at mw, where he was clearly struggling to make the weight.

                  Jones, being the most speed-based fighter in history, fell off as soon as his athleticism began to fail him, so parity in age doesn't really reflect anything there. Johnson was definitely good at an older age, but still these are not enough to make him hall of fame worthy. He was a champion, but not a real great.
