I think he is, not only was he a splendid crafty boxer who could hit well, he also holds a win over prime Roberto Duran! Held a LW title and defended against good contenders before losing it to Duran again.
Wins.
Roberto Duran who was actually champion at the time. (HOF)
Guts Ishimatsu. (LW Champ.)
Alfonso Fraser (JWW Champ.)
Edwin Viruet (Top contender.)
Ray Lampkin (Top contender.)
In his 3 defences all were ranked in the Top 10 by the Ring.
He also scored to beautiful knockdown's of Duran, especially the first one.
Do you think this qualifies for HOF?
