Is Reggie Johnson HOF worthy ??

Maybe but those doors have been opened long ago for crops of less than all-time great fighters in other divisions and era's so it wouldn't be as if it was him that set the precedent.Notably the heavyweights seem to be held to a different standard than everyone else by canastota.

By the standards the hall has set of course he's deserving, though i agree with the jist of your post.

 

one of jones best performances and possibly the best fiighter he fought in his career at 174

 

Johnson was undersized and generally quite ordinary at 175 imo.He never seemed as if he was really too interested post-Jones shutout and had taken advantage of one of the worst champions ever in Guthrie to get the belt.

Even old coked up cruiser Nunn subsequently smashed Guthrie to bits.
