Paddy DeMarco: Is he worthy for the hall of fame?

[elmersalsa]

This is another boxer that we seldom talk about. Lightweight world champion Paddy DeMarco. I see that he had an excellent career in the late 40s and early 50s. He beat the great Sandy Saddler twice after Saddler stopped him in 9 rounds in their first meeting.

Is Paddy DeMarco in your view worthy for the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, NY?

Not until El Gato makes it in.

I'd say there are a few other more deserving fighters who haven't made it in, but DeMarco's got better credentials than a couple guys who are already in. Don't forget he also beat HOF'ers Billy Graham and Jimmy Carter, and several other top fighters like Kenny Lane and Ralph Dupas, plus quite a few more.
