Why do people moan about Wlad never having beaten a HOF fighter...

[Deal With It]

Let's not pretend like we as boxing fans don't know who is a hall of fame caliber boxer and who isn't. Or who the A-level fighters are, and who aren't. You can say with certainty, that as of right now, nobody on Wlad's resume is a sure fire hall of famer.

Having said that, despite Wlad not having any hall of famers on his resume ATM, i'm pretty sure everybody would agree that he's had a hall of fame career. Now Wlad's career isn't complete just like most of the guys on his resume, but we know he's a hall of famer. How is that?

If you're going to use the argument of... "well, since these guys careers aren't complete yet, you can't be certain that they won't be hall of famers"...

Then don't compare guys like Wlad and the guys that he's faught thus far, who are still active and have incomplete careers to guys who have fully complete careers.

Simple as that.

Sylvester Stallone is in.

Good point, but I believe he is an as a non participant.

Edit: he's in as an observer.

this is so juvenile. Instead of having a decent boxing-argument people resort to calling eachother fat, loser etc?

Seems like what the trashier girls did in highschool.

Shape up and make it a boxing debate. Much more fun for us spectators to read.

Medved and Freedom are crap posters when it comes to talking about the Klitschko's.
Though they are slightly better than Klitschko2011.

Is chris byrd out of the question for hof?

Has to be. Is Trevor Berbick a hall of famer? You'd be opening up a pandora's box.

Barry McGuigan?

We mean he's never beaten a fighter that will even be considered for the HOF. There's not one person on his record you would look at and say, "Yeah, he's a hall of famer."

Maybe Chris Byrd will get in, but he shouldn't.

Byrd is fringe,i loved the guy coming up but i am not sure if he has the record,honestly wlad in my eyes has not earned a trip just yet,neither has Vitali.imo

Barry McGuigan?

I don't think McGuigan should be in so it shows it CAN happen. Like I said though, its unlikely. The heavyweights are much more noticed than the featherweights. To start letting in unworthy heavies would open the door to massive criticism in my opinion.

Yes they have, come on. I would be willing to bet money on that if the timeline werent so big.

The Klits ain't giving the HW division a chance at a HOF career. They are murking all the competition at the weight.

You're aware Ingemar Johansson is in the HOF, right?
