    Nah. He'd get my vote for the unofficial "warrior hall of fame for fans."

    He doesn't meet my personal standards, but his resume looks pretty decent when you lay it out like that.

    He will in all likelihood have a better resume than a couple of guys (Wlad, Joe Cal) who do make it in.

    This is what's wrong with the HOF people want guys they like or were exciting,I loved PW he was a good fighter and he did have a lot of very good wins but hall of fame no.

    I dont even class Sergio as a HOFer yet and his resume is better

    Bunema - RTD
    Cintron - robbed of a KO
    Williams I - he won in my eyes
    Pavlik - UD
    Williams II - Ice cold KO
    Dzinzruk - Down 5 times
    Barker - TKO
    Macklin - Vicious TKO
    Chavez - Sep 2012

    He will be if he fights :

    Sturm/Geale winner - Dec 2012 Super WBA/ WBC/ IBF/ RING
    GGG - Mid 2013 WBA / Super WBA / IBF / WBC / RING
    Pirog - Late 2013 WBA / SUPER WBA / IBF / WBC / WBO / RING

    by this time he would be 39 and would have cleared out everyone in the division (with the exception of a few up and comers such as Quillin)

    Read your name and ask yourself that question first.
