Yes. He has consistently fought the best, he has fought around the world, he has beaten most of his days best super middleweights and is a multiple titleholder.
100% he has beat many world champs and beat one of the only men to of beat him . ok he lost to ward but that shouldn't count much against him as ward is a bit special.
I'd say yes he is. He's beaten some good boxers and has won a few titles.
Without a doubt.
If he beats Hopkins, (If he chooses to fight him) probably. If he beats Hopkins 'and' Ward, definitely! I'll induct him myself if he beats both of them!
