Comments Thread For: Tyson, Tszyu, Chavez, Stallone: Picked For Hall of Fame

I really don't understand why Tszyu is a slam dunk first ballot HOF but Hamed is not. Look at their careers and you can argue Hamed's was more impressive.

I agree. ...

yeah and that is???????????????????????? just cuz he stayed there in the UK and fought C & B level opposition dont mean u get into the HOF?? was he a champ YES he was but does he have any significant fights that he had with anyone with world class quality?? the only guy he fought was MAB and the guy lost that fight bad and didnt even ever fight again???

No, he was undisputed champ, he beat all 4 belt holders. Who did Kostya Tyszu beat? Who did Mike Tyson beat? I think they all should be there but none of them exactly have legendary names on their resumes unless you include an old JCC or an old Larry Holmes.

Tyson lost to Buster Douglas. Tyszu lost to Ricky Hatton and never fought again....

He got it for writing the films not for acting in them. And he got into the Non-participant category, so I don't see what your beef is. The films popularised the sport, and that's what the Non-participant category is all about.They were not great films artistically, in fact the first one was the only decent one, and even that one was very one-dimensional - but that's besides the point. The point is that he popularised the sport, and that's what the category he was inducted under is all about.

The Sport of boxing was ALREADY POPULAR WAY BEFORE THE ROCKY MOVIES!! It wasn't like the sport was dead & his movie or movies revived it or made it any more popular...If that's the case then Russell Crowe, Robert De Niro & Denzel Washinton should ALL be in the hall of fame, cause the rolls they played DID MAKE POPULAR(again) REAL FIGHTERS WHO WERE ONCE POPULAR BACK IN THE DAY!!! Which would still be a bunch of BULL S H I T!!!

Hamed should never get in. Lacked boxing skill. Lacked the heart to fight top opponents until he was finally forced to fight one. What happened? He got that ****** ass spanked.

What is Edwin Valero getting into the HOF too?

Tszyu's career ****s on Hameds from a great height imo. Most people are trying to figure out who the Prince has beaten, Kostya was the first guy in 30yrs to unify 140.

Mike Tyson got his Muslin arse spanked by Buster Douglas (an actually spanking and KTFO, instead of the 8-4 decision Naz lost to an ATG). He never got to the "top opponents"

First of all, Tyson became ****** when he was in prison for ****. Pre-prison Tyson: ATG. Post-prison Tyson: ****** whipping boy.

Second of all, Spinks and Holmes were top opponents. Guys like Ruddock and Bruno, both guys that Tyson whipped two times each, is the type of fighter that Naz fought his entire career.

Third of all, Tyson had skill to go along with his hard punches. Mohammed didn't give Naz anything other than stone hands.

I just don't understand under what criteria Stallone was elected in?

^^^

They took that Rocky **** too far. **** WASN'T REAL!

I think Stallone actually thinks he was a fighter

"Shat My Pants" Spinks and an old ass Larry Holmes.....yeah epic ATG resume.

And he had so much skill to get soundly outboxed and knocked the *** out by Buster Douglas in his pre-prison ATG prime

[Sweet Jesus]

Age ain't shit. Tyson made Spinks shit his pants. The only thing Naz did was dance like some little ****** *****.
