Should Jerry Quarry be in the HOF?

[Kev]

Jess Wilard was known for beating a tired old Johnson and taking the worst beating in boxing history. He's in the HOF! Understand the standard has been set already. You can't unring a bell. Jerry Quarry is better than Braddock and Wilard. It's not like baseball where a player has to have 500 HR or 3,000 hits. There is no real standard. Jerry belongs in the hall.

Yeah but as has already been noted both Wilard and Braddock meant much more to boxing history than Quarry did.

Also both Willard and Braddock were undisputed heavyweight champs, Quarrey never was.

Man come on. I think we both know Quarry would have been champion in their era. We must look at the era at which they fought. Quarry era was much,much tougher that Braddock or Wilard.

I don't really see why at all to be honest. The Hall of Fame is for those fighters who best in their era or who occupied a cherished place in boxing history. You can't put someone in the Hall based on what you 'think' their acomplishments would have been in another era its ridiculous.

In that case Harry Simon should be in there because he would have definitely won world titles if he hadn't have ended up in jail, or maybe Davey Moore who would surely have gone on to do great things had not Roberto Duran ruined him.

The Hall is based on actual acomplishments not hypothetical matchups between fighters of different eras.
