For me it's a NO.

And here's why - although Tunney performed amazingly in the Super Six, he wasn't dominant in the season. He was always below the top guys, and couldn't have been described as: "the man to beat" at any point (bar the end of the Super Six)...

So, sorry Mr Detroit, not for me.

It's a yes from me. Great fighter and a Great manager...I'd be willing to offer them both a place in my BrainTrust and that's an offer that would only be handed out to good company, which most of you are not.

The Super Six Tournament Champion is most certainly worthy of a place in the Hall of Fame :TU:

Not true, he finished 3-1-1, the same as Benny Leonard. Finishing top on head to head, not record which was crap. He beat Leonard thanks to nothing more than a lucky cut, having finished level on points, he should have had to fight it out in a grand final.
