    Does Povetkin make the Hall of Fame?

    In my opinion Povetkin will go down as one of the best heavyweights to never win a title. He is a Gold medal and has been a top 10 guy over the course of 3 eras(Tail end of the 90s fighters, Klitschko era, and the Triumvirate era). Prior to this second Whyte fight, he had only lost to Klitschko and Joshua.

    Notable wins: Larry Donald, Chrys Bird, Eddie Chambers, Ruslan Chagaev, Marco Huck, Hasim Rahman, Manuel Char, Mike Perez, Marius Wach, Carlos Takam, David Price, Hughie Fury, Cedric Boswell and Dillion Whyte.

    Darw: Michael Hunter.

    Loses: Whyte 2, Klitschko, Joshua

    Is this enough for the Hall?

        Not in this life time. If he was American he'd probably get in, just like so many did who clearly don't belong there.

          wth? he was gifted in his career, yet never won anything.
          closest he came was points with wladdie cheating every 15 seconds, only that might have been a stoppage win by disqualification.

          if you let him in then you have to let in every contender who fought reasonably well in one challenge...thats thousands!

                Povetkin was world champion, no idea why you stated that he never won a title?

                    But he wasn't the WBA's champion. He picked up a regular belt when there was a Super champion.

                    Nowhere near HoF.
