    As of right now no. Only won one title that wasn't vacant against a no hoper in Foreman.

    For now, I'd say no.

    But I wouldn't rule it out completely. Not yet anyway. It depends what he does with the rest of his career.

    Of course not. He only beat one title holding champion and that was one of the worst 154lbers to ever hold a strap. One legged at that.



    Overrated fighter.

    Yeah. No more Foreman's and Mayorga's. More Mosley's. If that makes sense.

    Kermit Cintron would be a very good start, and the Berto/Ortiz winner would be a very good next step.

    No hes not yet

    But i feel he has the potential to be.

    I say a Long reign at 154 and maybe him unifying the titles will seal the deal for him.

    A very good fighter...more beloved by the boxing community than truly great though. He'll get in I'm sure, but I wouldn't expect him to be a first-ballot shoe-in or anything as of now. If he beats some top contenders/titleholders at 54 and 47 before retiring (even if he loses to somebody like Martinez or Pac again in the process), he'll deserve it.
