Do you think he'd still be voted into the IBHOF? Im not disputing his merits to be in, he was an exciting two division world champion who fought everybody and in fact wrote the book on how to beat Danny Lopez before Salvador Sanchez did it twice..but I wonder if losing to Limon in fight #4 (leaving him as a one-division champion) could have affected his chances...
Yes I think so. It was never really about titles with Bobby, no-one is ever going to say he was the greatest fighter of all time and IMO he would never have been a champ in the undisputed days of the title (just a very good contender). But he was very famous, rightly, as one of the most thrilling fighters of all time. Even if he never won a single title but still had the same series of classic fights with Limon and Boza-Edwards he would be a legend forever. Btw is Boza-Edwards in? He definitely should be, despite a superficially weak championship reign. Look at how many TV fights the guys had!
I’m not sure — I’ll say probably — but I could watch Chacon-Limon all day and all night. Made for each other.
