Quarry never won ANYTHING though, he even failed to win the NABF title.

Just becuase he fought the best doesnt mean he should be in the Hall of Fame, he didn't beat of them and that's the point.

John Ruiz has much more claim seriously a two time world champ one of the few in boxing's illustrious history, only stopped once in his entire career. Great trilogy with Evander Holyfield.

If you put Quarry in the HOF you have to open the door for a whole slew of other fighters. Let's keep it exclusive,
I agree, We should keep it exclusive,But you can't unring a bell. The standard has already been set.
