Does Zab Judah get in the HOF?

The boxing HOF has became a cheesy joke and it has become so watered down i don't even pay it any attention..

When they let in convicted murderer and professional con man thief Don King in and Stallone a guy who never threw a punch as a professional it became a sick joke, let daffy duck in for all i care...

You wanna know what a real HOF is see Major league baseball:deal

 

IF he did he'd arguably be the worst fighter in it.The epitome of overrated during his career.A six round hypejob.

Still many fighters better than him not in.

Gatti was worse. That isn't arguable.

 

He shouldnt get in. I was a big fan of Judah but he let me down more often and more consistently than any fighter I can think of. The guy had huge potential his maturity and ring smarts just werent there and those two things bring all of the other pieces of the puzzle together. Nope, you dont get in on unrealized potential IMO. As for him being a five time champion... pffff. Whatever. He was a legimate undisputed WW champion (not a bad achievement at all) for less than a year. That is the sum total of his championship resume. Those other "championships" were meaningless and illustrative of just how easy it is to become a champion today. I mean Jan Bergman and Kaizer Mabuza???

 

ah, good call.Forgot about Gatti.

 

Zab Judah 100 percent gets into the hall of fame, as it is.

 

He is a one time world champ.

 

Hard to believe he's a 5 time champ. But this is the era of watered down alphabet soup. But, if Brian Mitchell can make it with a good record albeit having faced average competiton, Zab can make it with a less than stellar record but having faced very good completion over a long period of time. But, let's face it, Zab lost almost all of this biggest fights.

 

Zab only won the welterweight title. His LWW title was merely a trinket.

 

I don't think he deserves to get in and his spotty conduct might be what invalidates him.

With that said, his career has more to it than winning a few meaningless titles against disposable opponents. He accomplished some decent things even if Mabuza and Bergman were nothing special:
(1) avenged the Spinks loss spectacularly in a big fight
(2) Took Junior Witter, Mathysse (close but deserved imo), and Paris' zero. Even though he barely beat Lucas, he made Witter look like a fool and beat the sh it out of Paris. Paris was supposed to roll through him.
3. Beat Corley and Millet, respectable second tier fighters who held belts, Corley at the time of the fight.
4. Beat Green and Ward, solid contenders, in good showings.
5. Gave cotto and Garcia tough fights.

 

He was a better fighter than Gatti.......

 

HOF is for GREATS ISNT IT? very goods,really really good isntGREATatsch
