Kenny Florian- Hall of Fame?

With the retirement of Kenny Florian many people on the forums and podcasts have discussed whether or not Kenny Florian's career is Hall of Fame worthy. For me to give my take on this topic I first must look as to who are the legends that have already previously been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Currently there are 8 talents/pioneers of the sport that have receive the ultimate honor of this lifetime achievement; Ken Shamrock, Dan Severn, Chuck Liddell, Charles "Mask" Lewis, Matt Hughes, Royce Gracie, Randy Couture and Mark Coleman. To go along with this list, Tito Ortiz will also be inducted early next month to round the list off to 9.

How exactly would Kenny Florian fare in comparison to this list?
Florian has fought 20 fights adding up to a record of 14-6 with 17 of those fights coming inside the UFC Octagon where he went 12-5. Florian was a finalist in season one of the ultimate fighter, losing only to Diego Sanchez. He fought for the UFC Lightweight Championship twice losing to Sean Sherk and BJ Penn, he also fought for the UFC Featherweight Championship losing to Jose Aldo. KenFlo is the only fighter in UFC history to compete in 4 different weight classes as well as the only fighter in UFC history to fight 3 times for a UFC belt and have nothing to show for it. He has one fight of the night one time and submission of the night once as well.

All these stats are great and make for a successful career but I hold the Hall of Fame in any sports as something that is sacred and something that requires greatness to justify a person's place within that realm. If you look at the current roster of the Hall of Fame you see the pioneers of this sport and the who's who list of people that made MMA/UFC what it is today. Personally I do not consider Kenny Florian's career to be on a level plane with any of the members listed. The Hall of Fame is supposed to be the glorification of the best fighters in the history of the sport therefore, I cannot seem to find any justification how someone can be inducted if they were not even the best fighter in their weight class at any given point in their career. In an individual sport a person should not even be considered for a spot in the Hall of Fame if they could not even win a championship in their career.
