Don't go off on a tangent, Flo. Stay on point. Is he a HOF'er or not? Do not dodge this question with these non sequiturs and non sequuntur.
Actually outboxed Abraham in quite uncharacteristic fashion and put a bit of a beating on Abraham. Not quite Laceyesque but it was pretty much a shut out and as I recall, Abraham was a pretty heavy favourite after dominating at MW for a few years
He actually is a HOF'er, but to answer like this, Gatti is in the HOF and Froch had a far better career than him so why shouldn't he be?
The cobra fought a literal murderer's row minus Mack one after the other, an absolutely obscene resume. Competitive loss to an ATG in Ward and redeemed himself in the Kessler rematch (giving him 50/50 out of respect no BS as mentioned in that Jordan interview), cracked rib if I remember correctly in his first title fight, barely mentions it. Dude was one of the toughest no nonsense fighters who ever lived. Knew his limitations and worked around them to become a hall of famer, made for some ridiculously entertaining contests. Possibly the GOAT gloves are off with Georgie boy for the rematch, mental warfare at its finest looked like he pulled the batteries out of the saint at several points lol. How on earth he took that punishment in the first fight and clawed his way back to force a stoppage I do not know, it was insanity.
