        No.

        I think if he beats Fury in one of those fights, he would've probably gotten in, but now, I don't think so.

          Wouldn't be surprised. They'll use the "he brought back American heavyweight boxing back" and how he had destructive power. They won't even mention the level of opponents. Also all his title defenses against trash opponents. Like I said I definitely wouldn't be surprised if he got in

            Who cares about what his nationality is? He has a too poor a resume to be a HOFer the titles themselves mean nothing. Its about who you beat and how good they were when you beat them.

                I have no doubt that he will get in but hype and popularity are different then merit based entries. People crap on gatti but he was a better fighter with a better resume than wilder. Wilder was in some good fights and was popular so it's fine he gets in but in reality he never should have been propped up in the first place as some top guy when he wasnt

                  Deontay Wilder, the human, yes. Only ever lost to prime Fury, beat the legendary Ortiz, best right hand ever. Wilder the clone W0 L2 (Parker, Zhang) No. Belongs in the trash. Nash out - His Majesty

                      They both have pretty garbage resumes. My point is they let anyone in now - they let Vinnie Paz in this year. At that rate, Wilder and Whyte will be first ballot HOFers.
