    Hell no. Other than his rematch with Spinks and his fight with Witter, he's lost every fight against a notable opponent. When the only notable wins you have on your resume are Spinks and Witter, you don't belong in the HOF. If he cleaned out the 140lb division I might reconsider, but that's not going to happen.

    Yes, since it's the hall of fame and not the hall of greatness.

    The chicken dance is one of the most memorable moments in modern boxing.

    If he can beat Alexander or Bradley he has a good shot.

    If he comes back and wins another major belt at 140 then you could make a pretty good argument for his inclusion. As of right now, he hasn't done enough IMO.

    If he can clear out 140, he has a shot. Otherwise, hell no.

    Without question! Mutli division champion multiple times over and has faced some of the best comp in his era. He's in there like booty hair kids.

    Zab, is borderline. A few more good victories over named opponents and he can win another title then he has a great shot to get in.

    whether you think he should be or not, he WILL get in. Rest assured. Unified champion at 140, fought and competed well with the elite of 140 and 147. Love him or hate him Zab has given us some memorable moments, most of which he's been on the losing end.

    So he'll get in alone on being a 3 time world champion, coupled with the competition he's faced. I don't see how it's debatable really.

    Zab fought great fighters at their peaks and performed well in doing so. If only he had dedicated himself to the sport fully.

    What's Zab's second best win? Chop Chop Corley? I don't care what titles he's won, outside of Cory Spinks (who he was only 1-1 against), there's almost nothing notable about his resume.

    Omar Narvaez made 16 defenses of his title and has won belts in two weight classes - do you think he's a lock too?

    Boxing certainly has more 'woulda/shoulda/coulda' boxing careers than it does HOF careers for sure. If somehow Judah can buck the trend and make a late career surge, I'd be rooting for him.

    If nothing else you know he'd make it entertaining which we can't say for a lot of the best talent in boxing right now.

    Agree with the rest, not now but the story isn't told yet so maybe..
