Heavyweights Universe. Hall Of Fame!

[aaaaaaaaa]

I've decided to create my own little hall of fame - nothing big, and you will be able to vote (like Conn Chris' universe, i think) about who should be inducted.

ALREADY INDUCTED:

Jerry Quarry 35-7, 26 KOs

Jerry Quarry began his career fantasticly. He went 20-0 in the first three years of his career, including wins against Bobby Halpern (24-5-2), George Mahoni (34-5-1), Albert Westphal (36-5-1), Amos Johnson (32-8-1), Malcolm Price (31-7). He then stepped it against some elite competition and still won against Henry Clark (21-3), Chuck Wepner (22-5-1) and then a fantastic 1st round knockout against Jimmy Ellis (34-7) that earned him a shot at Al Jones (23-1) IBF title. He fought a great fight, wearing Jones down and winning a clear cut unanimous decision. He succesfully defended against Dave Zyglewicz (23-1), Henry Clark (28-5-1) and Mac Foster (24-1-2) before giving a shot to the fantastic Joe Frazier (25-2). As expected, Joe Frazier who was the #2 in the division, knocked Quarry out, in seven rounds. That fight took alot out of Jerry Quarry as he was never the same again. He lost three in a row, twice against Al Jones (26-3) and against puerto ricos Pedro Agosto (21-6). He rebounded succesfully with a win against Jose Urtain (15-4) before being knocked out by journeyman Mani Vaka (19-2-2). That woke him up, as Quarry won 4 in a row by knockout, including Buster Mathis (30-8) and a rematch with Pedro Agosto (24-9), before losing a close decision against Larry Middleton (30-4-2). He beat Terry Daniels (17-3), Mac Foster (27-9-2), Henry Clark (36-10-1) and lost against Jimmy Young (25-1) before retiting.

Looking forward to the first ballot

I plan on eventually doing this too but considering I am waiting for them to be 2 years retired and I'm only 13 years into my uni (4 RL years) no one good enough is even close.
