If Danny Jacobs win a 168 pound title and beats a champ to do it

Why?

 

Nah he has lots to do.

I mean his resume is pretty weak considering his talent.

Derevyanchenko
Quillin
Chavez Jnr
Selucki
Truax
Mora x2


Its not terrible but its just several fringe contenders in the real world. He needs a couple of grade A wins.

 

Many fighters have took great fighters to the brink and not made the HOF.

 

Most will have a key standout win. Jacobs doesnt.

I mean he could get in based on the bottom level of Gatti & McGuigan but he isnt as famous or historic as them so doubt it.

Guys like Nigel Benn and Ernesto Marcel aint made it and they are miles ahead of Jacobs.

 

Marquez had beaten Barrera, Casamayor, Diaz x2 , Salido, Peden, Madina, Katsidis, Gainer, Juaez and was a three weight world champion by then, he wasalso ranked the out and out number 1 at both SFW and LW. He was miles ahead of Jacobs even if he never beat Pacquaio.

Barrera was still an elite fighter when he fought Marquez, had only lost to Pacquiao and Morales during his peak run at that point.

Terrible comparison.

 

Marquez is way more accomplished has better wins and ran other fighters like Pacquiao and chris john close

 

If he cleans out SMW and convincingly beats all of the current belt holders, maybe. If he beats someone on the cards and fights a bunch of scrubs, forget it. I’m a big fan but he came up short against his top opponents at MW. Fought well but didn’t get the W’s. Hope he can do it because he’s a good dude but I don’t see it happening.

 

Marquez was a 3 division champion with defenses two of which he was the man in the division. Danny Jacobs won a vacant belt and never made 1 successful defense. His best win is over Sergiy which is a good win then there’s Quillin which is solid but nothing else after besides a close loss to GGG..

 

Oh, so you don´t actually believe Jacobs should be in HOF?

It´s like the whole Gatti thing. "Well Gatti is in the HOF, so why not fighter x?" It´s as one dimensional of an argument as it gets.

 

Man that one always get me heated. I had a debate with someone about Antonio Tarver not deserving to be in the HOF and he used the Gatti excuse. Tarver best RJJ then immediately lost to Glen Johnson. Then beat Glenn Johnson and RJJ and lost to Hopkins. No sustained level of greatness or anything. Yeah but he beat RJJ, well by that logic Buster Douglass and Andy Ruiz are HOFers..
