Comments Thread For: The Perfect 10: One Man’s Ballot For The IBHOF 2011

I have no doubt Sven "you are not allowed to hit me" Ottke and Naseem "I lost when I stepped up but I was clearly past my prime in my 20s without having taken any punishment" Hamed will make it in the HOF, it's sad that they will get in before others more deserving. Also quite sad that this writer agrees.

Naseem should be in there, no doubt. But I'll agree with you on Sven Ottke, he was handed decisions and left Germany once to fight in Austria hahaha. He shouldn't be there but you can't say Naseem shouldn't!

Lyle Fitzsimmons is idiot.

He sure does love undefeated records and ABC titles.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sven Ottke deserves no place in the IBHOF.

sven ottke hahaha are you god damn kidding me? how can you have someone whose entire career was fixed in the hall of fame? does boxing have no integrity? rewarding a guy like ottke and putting him in the hall of fame would be a disgrace to every real boxer in the history of boxing.

I think is a disgrace just to have him in the ballot let alone in the HOF.

If you noticed some of the names in the list, which have a NO next to them, you'd be in doubt.

Who next after Ottke? Erdei, Zbik, Sturm and Sylvester?

I don't know the author, but I also have to wonder about including Sammy Serrano based on the fact that he made a lot of jr. lightweight title defenses. Serrano was a long-time titlist but he fought extremely weak opposition, worse than Erdei's. Serrano never fought the best in his division (for much of it, that was Alexis Arguello), and he got KO'd by the best opponent he fought, a young, 13-0 Roger Mayweather. He couldn't break an egg with his punch and had no notable wins. Very odd choice, IMO
