I think the hall of fame should be more than about a fighters record. Joe helped bring the sport of boxing to hights we will likley never see again. The first and third fights with Ali have gone down in legend and rightly so.

Joe was shorter than a lot of fighters, not exactly build for speed either, but he had heart and power.
If you put other fighters brains in Joe's body and went "right I want you to beat Geroge Foreman".
I bet they would get crushed too, remember Joe only weighed 205 pounds he's almost a cuiser in todays standards.

He deserves to be there and so do most of the others, its bitter of people to say otherwise.
