    Helllllllllllllllllllllllllll no!

    For what??? What did he do? Twice beat a washed up, half blind Jackson?

    He may or may not have made it if not for the Benn tragedy, but based on what he actually did... no, not even close.

    He’s done nothing to qualify for such a thing, but then Pazienza is in, so God knows what they’re looking for.

    And I tell you one thing, I always disliked to watch the Benn fight, so sad.... BUT, then I learned who Gerald was and what he used to do with dogs.... ohhhhh, I will only say one thing.. I have no problems watching that fight nowdays...

    IF those stories are true... but it is pretty much confirmed as far as I know...

    Not at all. Aside from his 2 wins over Julian Jackson and a broken down John Mugabi his overall resume is pretty thin. Perhaps if he managed to beat Nigel Benn he would be borderline HOF worthy but personally G-Man didn't do enough to make the cut.

    No way. I don't even think he has ever been on the ballot.
