Phenomenal fighter this season. Considering that he's a natural Welterweight I'm tempted to give him the nod because he was truly one of the best this season and held his own or even better with everybody.

I'm right on the fence with him.

I'll see how you guys vote, and if my vote is needed to break the tie I'll give it.

[armageto]

As above, I have to debate a little more on him. He was fighting as a smaller man, so that says a lot for the season he has had. I thought he would have won the million $ tourney as well, if it wasn't for a cut. I'll take a little more time to ponder...

[Crease]

For me, it's a NO.

He's definitely in the top five of fighters this season and as evidenced in his belts, he done well in his title shots, making him a helluva collector of belts...

BUT, The Super Six showed his true form, behind Greb, Monzon & SRR.

He proved himself that he wasn't the best and he never dominated anything... Not enough for the HOF.

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

A good Super Six would have got him over the edge, but it's a close but clear NO for me. Getting stopped in his last fight against Fitz didn't do him any favours either.

[armageto]

As a season in whole, I'd say no. It would be close, but no. However, I have to take in account he would have won the million dollar tourney if not for a cut. I also have to take into account that he was a 154 fighter, fighting guys at 160. However, his record is incomplete.....

So it leaves me to mull it over more. I have until Tuesday after all.....

[Fist of Legend]

just to be nice I'm voting yes to everyone
