This is Ottke's 3rd year. He isn't getting in the HOF. Top amateur, but his pro career was marred by home cooking.

He's a legendary legend-killer, and a lock for induction.

I am not a Calzaghe fan nor do I think he belongs in the HOF, but he did beat an undefeated Kessler and Hopkins, plus he has that zero. Not a HOF caliber resume, but comparing it to Ottke, Joe is a shoe-in. I don't think the IBHOF wants to come off as biased against Euros.
