Agree with Babic. Not one fighter out there has been ridiculed as much as him and that’s deserving of some award.
Watching him wing away for 10 rounds is pure gold and I look forward to every single fight tbh.
I detest Josh Taylor but I feel he’s done enough; many great wins and a 4 belt champion at a lively weight division. The Cat fight aside, he’s done things not many have.
fornicating thick gobshite though.

josh taylor wins
ramirez
prograis
postol
baranchyk
catt (robbery imo)
davies
undisputed.........but looking at the actual wins, he's still boarderline for me and in the balance based on the rest of his career. what happens if in his next 2 fights he were to lose to zepeda and catt and then retire for example

Fury?
He could have been HOF worthy if he hadn't wasted half his prime.
But having two names - old Wlad, and one trick pony Wilder- does not make a HOF fighter. He isn't even proven the best in his division.

He'll get it unless he gets blown out in his next couple of fights. Agree it's debatable if he's great, but he's the best of his era and that usually is enough for HW's.

He isn't proven as best of his era, he never fought Joshua, he likely won't fight Uysk if he wins.

He doesn't have to fight Joshua to be number one. Usyk, maybe.KiwiRider wrote: ↑20 Jun 2022, 16:58He isn't proven as best of his era, he never fought Joshua, he likely won't fight Uysk if he wins.

Name a fighter who has made it into the HOF on the back of decent two wins in one weight division with no amateur pedegree to fall back on either?

A popularity contest,
There's most likely 20+ active fighters today that have already achieved more than inductees Arturo Gatti and Barry McGuigan (nothing against either, fan of both), but won't have a chance of even getting on the ballot.
