Comments Thread For: Badou Jack looks to make his case for the Hall of Fame

Hall of very good. Iran Barkley isn’t in. He won titles in 3 weight classes in a less fake belts era.

****

But Vislor, shouldn't we have more inclusion rather than exclusion? Iran Barkley should be in. These days, multiple belts, including international, silver, interim, secondary, you kissed a donkey superchampion, are all given big credit. I like Badou, he will always come to fight. Never ran or looked uninterested, blooming fantastic to watch.

Very productive career, very good fighter, respectable resume. I think I side with everyone else on this thread though: Not a HoF fighter.

Means he probably gets in as the boxing Hall is the easiest nut to crack of any sport except maybe the WWE.

Shame Jack wasn't afforded the opportunity to fight 20 bums in a row and call it dominating a div.......

I've got to ask, who are your HoF fighters (not already in) over Badou? I don't mind who gets in really, because they take hits regularly and may pass away in an ambulance or in hospital. Fighters who regularly reach title level should always be remembered and that, for me, should be HoF. But that's just my opinion.

on the latest ballot (which is weak), i would put eubank and collins before badou. but jack would have to compete with these fighters in the following years: kosei tanaka, donnie nietes, kazuto ioka, roman gonzalez, kenshiro teraji, juan estrada, nonito donaire, leo santa cruz, lomachenko, mikey garcia, canelo, crawford, usyk, fury, joshua.

akira yaegashi was a 3 division champion, 1 lineal. he's not in. he's slightly better than jack.

Nah. Decent boxer. Weak record. Who are the HOF guys he's fought?

Same could be asked of GGG

Canelo

[Boxing 112]

Everyone who finishes their career now feels they should be in the HOF....participation trophies

Because the boxing hof is trash

[Smash]

badou was a good tough opponent

maybe the hall could be divided into gold silver bronze, after all they are all medals but to jump past bronze hof medal would require all the stuff that people give out that the lower guys dont have
