    If decisions had gone his way, would Badou Jack be a sure fire HOF’er.

    He’d have become Unified Super Middleweight Champion, Lineal Light Heavyweight Champion and Cruiserweight Champion.

    He’d have hypothetically beaten:
    Anthony Dirrell
    George Groves
    Lucian Bute
    James DeGale (Draw)
    Nathan Cleverly
    Adonis Stevenson (Draw)
    Jean Pascal (SD Loss)
    Illunga Makabu.

      Yes. The guy always took tough fights. I never really thought he got robbed but he never got the benefit of the doubt. He'll be remembered by hardcores for a long time at least.

      He's fighting for the weird WBC 200 lb belt next?

              Yes, having said that I never thought he was one of the elites at LHW. His best potential win would've been a close fight against a near 40 year old Stevenson who himself ducked any meaningful fight for years.

                  Jack, Froch and Porter had hard schedules of fights grouped in. Very few fighters are willing to do this. I thought Jack got the bad side of a couple of decisions.

                      I thought he definitely beat DeGale. The other two could’ve went either way.

                          May as well share this story in this thread too. On top of being a good pro, Badou Jack is a really good dude as well. I went to a convention several years ago in Vegas and all the top fighters were there including Spence, Porter, Mikey, Benavidez and some legends too like Hearns and Toney.

                          Every fighter there was charging for photographs and autographs aside from Badou Jack, he was giving them away for free and letting people take pictures with his belts, do face offs etc. I always remember stuff like that, was a really cool to see a fighter giving back to the fans.

                              ***ing Bradley is in HoF.

                              Badou Jack is natural SMW and succesfully fighting at CW. That's straight HoF achievement imo.
