    well, say that he beats both and then run the division for a couple of years and maybe it COULD be at least disputed and argued

      Unified C/W champion and WBA heavyweight champion.

      there are fighters with a LOT less to crow about in there.

      if the IBHOF was legit Haye would have no chance, but its a sham
      No thats just bull**** and who are you referring to?

        here's the thing IMO, the cruiserweight is meaningless and it doesn't hold any prestige...

          If he ends up fighting and beating BOTH Klitschko's he would have an outside chance.

          But, he has not got the resume to even be considered.

              Joey Barnum, Primo Carnera, Ted Carroll, Nate Druxman, Ty Cobb

              I could list dozens more, all of whom you will never have heard of.

              do some research before calling bull****, you biased twit

                Will he even be up for a HOF nomination? If so, why?

                I feel David Hayes hype and the attention he gets nowhere near matches his resume. Hes a sometimes fun to watch fighter with a big mouth. Thats it.
                I mean, what are his best wins? Jean Marc Mormeck?









                oh... and try to keep the *****ko vs Gayvid feud to a minimum in this thread.
                even with both Klits on his resume, I doubt he would be HOF material, but most HW champions get in...

                  Joey Barnum isn't in the IBHOF.

                  Carneras KO of Tommy Loughran trumps Hayes career, let alone KO wins over Jack Sharkie and Ernie Schaaf and a decision over Paulino Uzcudun.

                  Ted Carroll was an non-participant.

                  Nate Druxman also a non-participant.

                  In fact I'm not sure any of these are in the IBHOF and the only fighter is greater than Haye anyway.

                  If by Ty Cobb you mean Tex Cobb he isn't in it.

                      Of course. David Haye is a top 5 ATG.
