Comments Thread For: Stephen Fulton believes victory over O?Shaquie Foster will land him a Hall of Fame spot

[felinoboxing]

I was about to write that Fulton has a problem with his perception of reality, but I did some research on the resumes of several fighters who signed with Canastota, and the truth is that what Fulton said isn't so far-fetched, considering that Vinnie Paziezia and Bobby Chacon are in the Hall of Fame.

Beating foster makes him a 3 division champion. All 3 division champs are in the hall of fame

*Belt holder. It's far easier to be a three division belt holder in the 9-belt era.

Shock better start fast and put his stamp on this fight. He has a tendency to start slow.

Sometimes Foster's on, sometimes he's off. It'll be interesting to see which one shows up vs Fulton.

This particular win might not put him over the top for the HOF but he's building a better resume than people think.

Look at his last 10 fights, oldest to newest including the upcoming Foster fight:
W vs Paulus Ambunda; 27-2-0, former WBO 118 champion
W vs Isaac Avelar; 15-0-0
W vs Arnold Khegai; 16-0-1
W vs Angelo Leo; 20-0-0; reigning WBO 122 champion, future IBF 126 champion
W vs Brandon Figueroa; 22-0-1; reigning WBC 122 champion, future WBC 126 champion
W vs Danny Roman; 29-3-1; former WBA/IBF 122 champion
L vs Naoya Inoue; 24-0-0; former WBC 108, WBO 112, undisputed 118, undisputed 122 champion
W vs Carlos Castro; 30-2-0; challenging for a WBC 126 world title in his next fight
W vs Brandon Figueroa; 25-1-1, reigning WBC 126, former WBC 122 champion
vs O'Shaquie Foster; 23-3-0, reigning 2X WBC 130 champion

That's a really, really strong 10 fight run.

If he picks up 4 or 5 more solid wins in his career, I'd say he does belong in he HOF.

Scooter I mess with u(pause), but beating O'Shaquie Foster doesn't put you anywhere. He's a good fighter, but hardly a household name. You better beat him if you wanna do anything going forward. But not just beat him, beat him very convincingly. You can't get into a back and forth grinding match with him (pause, no sean combs). You have to beat him up and not absorb too much. You have to hit him hard and dominate him. (Pause)

Oh really?

When was Duke McKenzie inducted? I must have missed it.

Exactly! There are many fighters that don't have that resume or anywhere near that resume! He keeps wiining, he lands in the HOF.

No argument from me
