What are the chances he makes the Hall of Fame? I've noticed he gets a lot of criticism on ESB and boxingscene from the Roy Jones fan boys. He was a two weight world champion, after beating Leonzer Barber for the WBO Light Heavy Belt he moved up to Cruiser to win the WBO Cruiser Belt by Knockout. Beat Virgil Hill to unify the WBO,WBA,IBF belts only to be stripped shortly after. 23 consecutive Title defenses, 2 shy of Joe Louis' record. 48 consecutive victories. Knocked out Montell Griffin in four,first to Knock out Graciano Rocchigiani in their rematch,stopped Drake Thadzi in 9 after Thadzi beat James Toney and knocked out Scully.
Only lost after he was old and past his prime. Will his accomplishments be enough to get him in the hall. I can think of two fighters who achieved far less than him and are sitting in the Hall. Jose Torres and Barry Mcguigan.
