Well i don't think he deserves to be in HOF he had few good wins Juan La Porte, Bernard Taylor, Eusebio Pedroza, Nicky Perez, his dad also used to sing his song before McGuigan's fight started McGuigan was starting to make name for himself he was incredibly popular at that time and was about to set a match against Azumah Nelson so he chose an unknown Steve Cruz for tune up fight this fight was a pretty bad loss for McGuigan but great fight by the way there was little controversy because Mcguigan wasn't used to the heat and it was scorching hot i can tell you anyway McGuigan was ahead in the fight and then started to fade in later stages he got dropped in 10th and 15th i believe and lost close decision and then after the fight had to go to hosptial due to his dehydrated state then about year after that fight his father died and it affected him badly he used to say his father was his greatest inspiration but he comeback had good win over Nicky Perez who fought Salvador Sanchez and also beat Francisco Tomas Da Cruz then in his final fight fought Jim McDonnell and lost by cut stoppage in 4th i believe one thing that was disappointing was if he would of won Cruz fight he would of fought Azumah Nelson shame that didn't happen.
