    I think a fighter who became the definition of heart deserves to be in the HOF

    Any fighters heart will forever be compared to gattis, and i dont see any surpassing him


    A "GATTIesque" Heart

    Not for the first time,I'm thinking this is a very good post KA.:good
    I'm torn on this one,and whilst I almost totally agree with you,I can't help thinking this is a sympathy vote,and Thunder has a fond place in all our hearts that doesn't need HOF approval.
    If I absolutely had to vote,I'd probably say no.

    Damn 24-10 ppl think he should be in? Come on guys...yeah it would be nice if he got in to commemorate his death but he shouldn't be a first ballot hall of famer. He was an exciting fighter no doubt, but I don't think he is hall of fame worthy. If he were alive would he be voted in? I highly doubt it.

    Yes he would.

    Boxing commentators and promoters and Sylvester ****ing Stallone are in the hall of fame but the best action fighter maybe in the history of the sport shouldn't be in?

    His death has nothing to do with it his career speaks for itself. He was never P4p but he was a good fighter and always put on a show. 4 foty!!!! Look at the other fighters in history with that many fotys. All hall of fame.
