        felix sturm?

        i'll never again mention the hall of fame if they let him in.


        the only bonafide "make damn sure this guy gets in," type of fighter on that list is wladimir klitschko. vitali is an odd case, and i don't want to derail the thread with TKO6 nonsense

        froch and kessler have good resume, but are not hall of famers yet by a long shot. kessler's best win is froch, and froch does have some good fighters on his resume, making it a strong win.


        froch and kessler are two of my favorites, but i can't put them in canastota yet.

            this is why they don't go on just numbers for the HOF. thank god for that.

            HOF creds are based almost entirely on who you beat and when. that's all that should matter.

              Everyone except Sturm and Abraham.

              Froch, 3 time world champion, Kessler, 5 time alphabet & 3 time world champion, Vitali 2 time world champion and Wlad the most dominant heavyweight champion for ages all deserve it.

                Just out of interest, since you base it on who they beat.

                Who did Wlad and Vitali beat to be HOF?

                  I think Froch will over time. Wlad and Vitali for sure.
