        i mean out of those he least deserves to be in the HoF, sorry. he will get in though but he shouldnt IMO

        its an insult to guys like izzy who fight their hearts out every fight and put on great shows for everyone that calzaghe, the guys who slaps and hid behind a ****ty WBO belt for 10 years, whos best win was over a 43 YEAR OLD gets in ahead of them....

        its not right...if calzaghe fought and beat more guys like pavlik, a young hungry prime fighter he would deserve to get in....but since he is fighting pensioners and he fought bums in europe for 10 years he doesnt deserve recognition IMO

            this is a ****** poll since all these guys are a lock to get in, its misleading and you can say what you want about "you should read before voting" its a ****ty way to do things.

              This poll is flawed and misleading. If your going to have a post title saying one thing, then slide in a another question in the poll, either it was poor judgement or done purposefully. Floyd Mayweather gets my vote as the most HOF worthy fighter out of this list. What was the reason behind you actions?

                I' sorry for that bro, but I was sure you'd read before you vote. When I figured I wrote "who would get to the HOF first" it was too late...I couldn't edit it anymore. Anyway, my vote also goes to Mayweather my least likely...secret. hint, it isn't Izzy :blow:

                  I'm not really a fan of Joe and I agree with some of your sentiments. It's just that even if he were to be humiliated by Roy Jones, Calzaghe is a sure thing for the HOF. There are just way too many suspect fighters already in there to justify keeping him out.

                    He deserves to be in more than any of them except Mayweather. It should go Mayweather, Calzaghe, Marquez and I don't think Vasquez should get in as of yet. Depending on what he does from now it is very possible though.

                    Calzaghe does deserve to be in the HOF. Despite your dislike for him, very, very, very few people in the history of the sport have been able to do what he has done already. Think of the few recent fighters who have been able to rack up massive amounts of title defenses; Hopkins for one. He also fought questionable opponents but he was also defeated while trying it. Even without Jones to fight he lost his first fight to some utter chump! Who else? Ricardo Lopez? Again, he fought an amazing number of defenses but he also couldn't do it undefeated (all but undefeated, but not quite Calzaghe undefeated) even though you can also question his opposition!

                    I actually believe Calzaghe fought better opposition than Lopez and also the majority of Hopkins' opponents apart from Jones. Undefeated, big SMW Lacy and Kessler (I know, they're said all the time) among others equal small Trinidad and Hoya for me. He also lost to the same test that Calzaghe won in Taylor twice. The young undefeated, up and coming champ in the same division.

                    Anyway, enough of this tangent. He's a good fighter. Pretty damn special actually. Whether or not he slaps and had a bad fight against the greatest spoiler of the last fifty years.

                    Vasquez is the least deserving so far easily. Marquez has actually beaten some very competition in Gainer, Peden (who beat current champ Nate Campbell twice), Medina, Juarez, Barrera and Pacquiao twice....



                    No doubt he will also beat Casa. That is a very fine resume for someone who has supposedly not beaten anyone apart from a BS draw and losing a BS decision to the P4P number one guy. For anyone that can actually score a fight, his decision against Barrera was not disputed apart from morons who cannot score. He won the fight easily even if the knockdown was scored against him. Close but clear decision win. Better than Pacs decision win against Barrera.

                    hehehe
