What should you have too do at Heavyweight to make the hall of fame

Fight the best out there and win the majority, simple.

 

Be greater than Jess willard

 

If you're fighting the best out there and mostly winning, then you should have one anyway.

 

He shouldn't be a hall of famer. He has three good wins, and one of them is a robbery. All he did other than that was acquit himself well vs an aging Ali and an injured Holmes.

If he's in then Jimmy Young should be too.

 

My personal criteria is this: Hall of fame fighters should stretch themselves, by either seeking out the most dangerous opponents in their prime, or if under heavyweight, moving up the divisions to cement their legacy.

Heavyweights, especially champions now, who are willing and able to fight everyone as close to their primes as possible seems to be fading. Politics are interfering in that.

 

Become a unified world champion and beat top contenders/ champions of your era. Basically just don’t do what Wilder did - be too scared to challenge yourself and cherry pick your full career.
