Jerry Quarry, was one of the most excting heavyweights of his era never avoided know one, beat unbeaten big punches mac foster, ron lyle, stopped one of if not the hardest ever puncher earnie shavers in a round, also holds a win over floyd patterson. Had a classic battle with fraizer which won fght of the year. Some say after beating up george foreman in a sparring encounter george avoided jerry. Yes Or No should jerry be in the hall? Genaro Hernandez 2 time super featherweight world champion Makeing 9 defences of his wba, and 4 defences of his wbc, only ever beaten once as a superfeather weight in his last fight against floyd mayweather. Hernandez was one of the greatest super featherweights of his era, also defended his title against jorge paez and azumah nelson. Yes or No Should Genaro be in the hall? Rodrigo Valdez Former middleweight world champion, one of the biggest hitting middleweights of all time, tuck the great carlos monzon to the wire, beat bennie brisco 3 times even doing the unthinkable and stopping bennie, and also beat Gratien Tonna, made 4 defences of his wbc middleweight title. Yes or No should he be in the hall? Bennie Briscoe Middleweight contenders and one of the best of his era not to hold a title, tuck the great middleweight carlos monzon to a draw in Argentina, every at that time said bennie geting a draw in argentina is as good as geting a win, holds a win over former lightheavyweight champion eddie mustafa muhammad, held the great emile griffith to a draw and beat top middleweight contenders tony mudine before mudine had even fought monzon yet, and got big punching eugene hart out of there in a round. Yes or Know should bennie be in the hall? Vito Antuofermo Former middleweight champion of the world and european lightmiddleweight champion, was of the hardest fighters of his era, held the great marvin hagler to a draw, beat former middleweight world champion hugo pastor corro, beat all time great and former world champion emile griffith, also beat top middleweight contenders eugene hart, denny moyer and bennie brisco. Yes or no should he be in the hall?
Id say Valdes and Chicanito should get in. As for Quarry I initially said no but you brought up some very good points if they had a Cruiser division in the 70s im sure he would be a 1st ballot,unfortunatly the didn't so probably not. Vito and Briscoe were good but those wins over Griffith were an old Griffith and beating the rest of the guys makes them Very good fighters but not IBHOF worthy. Briscoes Draw with Monzon was before Monzon best days,and Vitos draw with Hagler was a gift I remember thinking Hagler should have won 9-6.
The one guy whos not in and should have been long ago was Danny"Little Red" Lopez he would have knocked out some of the guys who are already in. I posted a thread as did BooRadley and just about everyone agreed that he should be in.
i agree lopez does, didnt he make like 8 or defences of his title? his fight with mike ayala is one of the best featherweight fights i have seen
I wouldnt put any of those guys in ,even though Briscoe is one of my favs and i would like to see him there. but it wouldn't surprise me if they all get in.
Little Red is one of this years nominees. Hopefully he gets in. Fearless, never in a dull fight, quite under rated these days. He deserves to get in.
