Without doubt for me. Got the better of Marquez while they were both prime, got the better of Larios and a few other decent guys. That win over Gonzalez looks better by the day... EDIT: Added to the fact as elchivito says, he was ridiculously entertaining.
Yes. He and RM should get a special pass IMO. If they hadn't taken years off each others' careers both would have likely enjoyed more longevity with plenty more respectable scalps on their resumes.
Not a first ballot entrant,but he'll get in after that I reckon,going by what seems to be the current criteria.His title fight resume is pretty good,but it'll be his popularity and exciting fights that get him in there(all wrong reasons IMO) I like him very much but if I had to be really honest and apply my own thoughts on who belongs in the HOF,I'm not sure he'd get in.Even after watching a couple fights recently I enjoy more than admire his style. But he was good value,and that's a fair achievement in this day and age.
This hurts to say, Vazquez was one helluva fighter, who could forget the Marquez fights? But no, I dont believe he is of HOF caliber, But it isn't impossible.
