Doesn't deserve it. Beating Mosley and getting beaten badly by Mayorga doesn't marrit you. Actually Antonio Tarver would go in the hall of fame before Forrest and he doesn't deserve it either.

3. Ricardo Mayorga

Loved watching him fight, and he's a "could have been" if he had beaten Spinks I would agree with you. But falling short against Oscar and Trinidad and Spinks are going to cost him, if you could get in on sheer personality then Mayorga would be a shoe-in.

4. Fernando Vargas

Won't get in, the same reasons as Mayorga wouldn't.

5. William Joppy

Anyone who wins a championship after what happened to them after Trinidad deserves a medal of honor(same for Mayorga) but he always seemed to call short when it came to those hall of fame matches.

All these are great champions but I don't think they will be let into the hall of fame, but fighters that have done less are in it, so you never know.

Good breakdown, William looked like he never recovered despite regaining the title (Who did after a brutal Tito KO). His fights against Hopkins and Taylor were one sided but prior to the Tito fight people thought he was the best MW out of the bunch (Including Hopkins). He had something like 8 defenses and had a sleek style. I would have loved to see Fernando Vs Ricardo back in 2000 before Tito put his hands on either one, it would have probably been one of the most entertaining fights in boxing history.
