Meldrick Taylor: Hall of Famer?

[Hydro]

I don't think either Vasquez or McGirt will get in.

I think McGirt is more likely to. Vasquez may have the better numbers with the title defenses and all, but Buddy is more well known and had some success training, which may help with those who vote.

he is considered a great champion at one point in his career but hall of famer, i don't think

[GattiFan]

I think he will get in for a couple of reasons....

#1. The guy was amazing before he got kicked ******ed.

#2. Like it or not...boxing feels somewhat responsible for the screw job it did on the Chavez fight, and the resulting downward spiral of this poor mans life.

I think his talent, and his story add up to enough to get him pushed through.

i think don't think so, there are a lot of boxers with great stories but never accomplished enough in the ring

I wish...but I don't think he'll make it.

As the wise marvdave put it: hall of fame talent? yes... hall of fame career? not quite...

But hell, if you want to go off his best two performances then maybe he'd get in. He beat Buddy McGirt BADLY and he holds a W over Chavez in my book.

Matthew Saad Muhammad is in the hall of fame and i would say his career is similar to meldrick's. They were great for about 5 years and then they were done. Both were awesome while thier peaks lasted though.
