Lets say fighter X who is 0-100 has fought 20 world champions. He always gave them a good fight. fights that people remember. Fighter X though always lost was also a gentleman in and out of the ring. He always represented what a fighter should be....Fighter X would be a shoe in for the hall.....Are they more likely to make it if they held a title of course...But it is not about skill it is about what you have broughtto the sport over the years as a whole.....Not trying to sound like a know it all but it just seems a lot of people think only P4P guys get in
