    absolutely. If arturo gatti is in the hall of fame, their is absolutely no reason why wlad shouldnt get in.

      If Wlad falls to the novice challenger he's just outside the HOF at least IMO but of course the hall is really a popularity contest and not the place for exclusively great fighters.

      Gatti and Barry are in and both were extremely average fighters so Wlad with a long hw fragmented title reign is 1000% going in.

            If this happened, (which absolutely won't)

            HOF - yes

            ATG - no

              just by cherry picking and fighting povetkin he loses the hall of fame. if he doesn't fight wilder in his next fight he has zero chance to redeem himself.

                  I have to agree.

                  Wlad needs Wilder on his resume to complete it because without a key name like that hes only got 2nd tier hw's and cws on there.

                    He's already in the HOF for his body of work. Not everyone has an Ali-like career available to him. For what he has done, he deserves it. Povetkin will not change that.
