Does Povetkin make the Hall of Fame?

[PRINCEKOOL]

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

Nowhere near HoF.

I have always regarded him as a World Champion.

Olympic Gold Medalist and WBA World Heavyweight Champion 'Good career in my opinion'.

None of his loses have really been that bad ether etc

[Boxfan83]

Maybe in his homeland.

[just the facts]

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.

Like Barry McGuigan?

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?

Yes but the hall of fame means very little in boxing. Its not on a par with baseball, or football. The real kicker is ATG.

I always thought that because there was a 'Super' champ at the time, he is not considered a champ, but i get what you are saying.

Yes, for sure, that's I think he is a borderline case. Very good career and a very good fighter, maybe just enough to squeak by into the diminished boxing HoF. He is certainly NOT an ATG though.

Voted no , but the Russian Vityaz will never get the true credit he deserves ............

Like Barry McGuigan?

Barry doesn't belong there, that's true. But at least it's not nearly every fighter in that shouldn't be. But i do hope you know he isn't British, if that's what you're trying to get at?

Like Arturo Gatti?

[alexguiness]

No. He was a decent HW and an excellent amateur but that's about it. Also the PEDs and not being very marketable didn't really help his career.
