The McGuigan of the Pedroza bout would be too much for Chris John in my opinion.

I don't think that much of McGuigan. His HOF induction was absurd. Pedroza was past prime by that point and had been declining IMO since Caba. I'll take John on points.

It's a Hall of Fame. He was certainly famous so I guess he ticks the main box.
I'd like to have seen him fight The Professor at the time he starched the very capable Pat Cowdell.

As for the HOF, Butterbean's famous, too.

No reason why Eric shouldn't be in there too then.

That isn't the purpose of a HOF. Kornikova's famous in tennis. She isn't getting in the HOF--as she never won a tournament.

Loved watching McGuigan fight, but he doesn't have credentials to b in anyone's HOF

Any idea how it is structured?
Is it just a limited company or what?

They let in a lot of folks. McGuigan certainly isn't the only guy I would question who they've let in. Popularity certainly counts

Agreed, but I'd put Gatti in over McGuigan

I'd put McGuigan in first; better wins and fewer bad losses. Agree neither belongs.giacomino wrote:Agreed, but I'd put Gatti in over McGuigan
