Wlad HOFer if he gets KOed by Povetkin and retires?

[QQQQQQQ]

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

[lparm]

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.

[New England]

yes, but it would be a huge hit to his resume. povetkin BLOWS.


it will never happen.

[Simurgh]

wlad is HW atg if he retires tomorrow. being koed would harm his legacy but he would still be hof/atg...

[sugarsmosley]

If this happened, (which absolutely won't)

HOF - yes

ATG - no

[daggum]

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.
