    He is a former undisputed champion so yes, he is in.

    If Gatti can get in, Judah should too.

    If it was up to me, Judah would be turned down but today’s standards are low so whatever.

      But he has accomplishments, he defended his IBF lightwelterweight for 5 times before losing to Kosta Tzyu for the undisputed. And then won against Cory Spinks to become the undisputed Welterweight.
      To me it is close. He might get in but it is iffy. Some guys in the hall are not that good and he might be one of those boxers who barely makes it in, He did not become undisputed by beating all the other champs like Crawford did. He only had to beat Spinks and Spinks was never very good. Tzyu squashed him like a bug and mediocre Baldomir beat him because he ran like a chicken the last half of the fight and lost a fight he could have and should have won. He had fast hands, power and skill but he lacked toughness and heart. I don't think he has enough good wins and he has too many losses to be a hall of fame fighter in my opinion. Still he might get in because other boxers who I don't think were good enough got in to the hall.

            Yes, he is a HOF'er. He is a two time divisional titleholder and an undisputed Welterweight champion.

              -IBF Super Lightweight World Champion, 5 successful defenses (lost to Tsuyu)
              -WBO Super Lightweight World Champion, 1 successful defense (lost to Spinks)
              -Undisputed WBA (Super)/WBC/IBF/Ring/Lineal Welterweight champion, 1 successful defense (stripped of some, lost rest to Baldomir and Floyd)
              -IBF Super Lightweight World Champion (lost to Khan on first defense)
              -several other world title challenges

              So yeah. 2 division champ, 4X champ overall, undisputed champ. Sounds like a Hall of Famer to me.

                Lol forgot about him. That dude was a dramatic version of broner. When he got ko'd by tzyu he put his glove on the refs throat, when roger walked in the ring to fight zab during the mayweather fight, and the garcia press conference

                  I know that. They only pick 3 each year. I listed all the nominations. My point is that it depends on who else is nominated with zab. Some years you basically have shoe ins like hopkins, marquez and mosley to where you know they are going to be the 3. So you had Tarver and Sergio who were lineal champs like like Zab who didnt get picked and also a lot of other solid names because you had 3 guys who retired at the same time. Zab just fought this year so he wont be up for a while, they wait like 5 years after their last fight before putting them up for nominations.

                    He was the man at 140 for a period of time.

                    He held all the straps at 147.

                    Then his career took a nose dive. Then just when we thought he was finished he went back to 140 and won another title.
                    He was never the man at 140...he lost the fight to become the man there.
