    We all know Locomotora, classic argentinian boxer that competed from 1987 to 2007, having 144 official bouts, 133 wins and 11 losses

    He was the WBA middleweight champ for 1 year and defended that title 4 times, beating Reggie Johnson 2x, Alex Ramos and John David Jackson

    He's most remembered for having 2 very competitive fights with Old Man Durán (IMHO both won by RD) and being the man who ended RJJ'S KO Streak
    He also challenged twice for world titles at Cruiserweight and was the WBA Fedelatin Light-Heavyweight champion

    With the requirements to be a HOF becoming more and more mediocre, does he have a chance at getting inducted?

    Only his jaw has a chance of being inducted.

    100%.

    Locomotora would still be fighting if it weren't for a car wreck.

    Reggie Johnson and John David Jackson twice is solid enough,borderline HOF.

    I’ve wondered the same thing myself in recent years. He’s one of the few modern fighters to break over 100’pro fights. Was only stopped like once I think ? Beat a handful of big names. I’m sure there’s less deserving people already in the HOF

    Legends had it written that it cost 100 Chuck Liddell's to forge that chin.
