Only ******** fans will remember Jack in 30 years time. Unlike Eubank, Benn, Nunn, Norris, – thats a good starting point – would fans reminisce over his fights and career in 30 years time – for me at least the answer is a big fat “No” (apart from the slight inconvenience of my demise:rolleyes:)
the fighters who i currently look forward to see fighting > Bam, Inoue, Foster, Tank, Nick Ball (I’m biased as British but nobody can deny he brings it), Matias, Teofimo (more so at 135), Ortiz, Ennis, Fundora, Mbilli, Benavidez, Beterbiev, Bivol, AJ (its the vulnerability), Fury (the slugger) Usyk, Itauma
Basically with all those fighters you know something is going to happen win or lose and I predict a good percentage of them will be in HOF. Badou Jack not so much.

He fights like once every 2 years and against an unknown.
Zero chance for hall of fame

one more round against degale and one more against adonis (literally one punch away, 7th or 8th round to the belly) and he would be 2 division lineal champion with 3rd title at cruiserweight. he’s 2 rounds from hof. so close yet so far.
The DeGale fight was a straight up robbery, nobody can convince me James won 6 rounds in that fight. The Stevenson draw was at least a fair result.

Been in some good fights has a few decent wins but no.
It’s rather unlikely, but if he were to beat Mikaelian again and then somehow beat Opetaia he’d be worthy of enshrinement in my opinion. But not as his record stands today.
