    I hate HOF questions cuz the bar on the HOF seems low. So of course he gets in if we saw his last fight already.

    Should be get in? That's a more nuanced discussion & it's probably a closer call if it was as hard to get in as it should be.

        Yes. He’s a two time lineal champion with a win over one of the greatest heavyweights ever.

          No.

          He needs to fight more decent opponents. He has literally fought two top10 in his whole career so far.

                it’s not just about making it to the top of the mountain. You got to prove you’re the true king of the hill several times if you want to make it into the hall. As it is, I’d lean toward yes. The only way this current impression of him can be undone is if he gets destroyed a few times.

                  C'mon, he won all the belts of the HW, won twice the ring mag belt.

                  Basically when he beat Klit and won the WBO, IBF, WBA belts, Wilder was the WBC champ.

                  So as far as I see it, he basically ended the job he started in 2015 with the Klit wins by beating Wilder last week.

                  Does wining all the belts and lineage in a division makes you an HOF?
                  Not sure, let's have a look at 140 Bud's lineal and belts run, it was pretty weak (Idongo, Postol).
                  Bud is HOF IMO but because you add his 135 and 147 runs.

                  But when the two guys you beat are Klit on a 20ish defenses streak and Wilder on a 10 defenses streak.

                  Klit ain't no Postol, and WIlder ain't no Idongo.

                  And you DOMINATE them, almost "easy work".

                  Well, that's pretty HOF worthy, in any era TBH.

                  Fury (arguably) has the best pair of wins in boxing.

                  I was very impressed by him outboxing Klit and him stopping Wilder.
                  You would think stopping Klit and outboxing WIlder would be the easier path LOL

                    Look I'm a Tyson fan. I won a 8yr old bragging rights contest with this latest win on a competitor forum cuz of my confidence in how badass Tyson was going to be in the future in 2012. That said does 2 fights, no matter how impressive the W's are, make one HOF worthy? Maybe, maybe not, but I hardly feel it's a clear & concise without argument definite yes is all I'm suggesting.
