    yes, he was the one to stop the then seen as unbeatable jones. This fulfils being HoF despite jones being finishedat the top.

    Some HoF entries are weak, but they are famous for some record or achievement. Sven Ottkes rrecord defences even though he was beaten several times in it. Joe cowardzaghes's defence run even though most of them are not recognised and in reality he has fewer recognised defences than Froch and Ward. Does Barry McGuigan deserve it for one elite/ATG win? There are some serious backdoor entries into HoF there.


    Tarver will of course never make an ATG.

    I was a Tarver fan and had it not been for the PED use, I would have said yes, he deserved a HOF place, but no PED user should be in the Hall of Fame, he should be in the Hall of Shame.
