Paul tragic motorcycle accident finish his boxing career... he got 43 total fights ... winning 41-2 .... 27 KOs ... good solid resume ... is it enough to be a HOF
Might have done, but for... As thing stand, bit shy. Imagine he actually fought Canelo as planned and scored the (what around then would have been perceived as) minor upset?
i hate the lowest common denominator argument about who can get into the HOF. I mostly wouldnt protest due to his terrible injury I just dont think he had the long term staying power Big win over Margarito followed up with big disappointment vs Quintana He avenged it and was seen as the boogieman for Floyd for a little despite never being able to get back to 147. He reached his high point by beating Martinez but he had a lot of critics saying he really lost He almost caught Pavlik on a slide and the forum really thought Pavlik was ducking big time and was destined to lose After losing to Martinez he looked awful and got a gift vs Lara and I think his career ended before he was about to fall off
Dude lives less than 10 miles from me and I talked to him on the phone, neighbor hook up, the night Crawford and Lopez kicked aze
No. He was more of a brief titlist than actual welter champ. He edged Martinez but it wasn’t for the 160 championship and lost horribly in the rematch. He took an L to Lara. He was signed to fight Canelo when the accident happened. Had he won, he would be HOF bound (He wasn’t going to).
