Wow. Calzaghe and ottke are up for Hall ballot

[Mr. Philadel]

Joe is worthy....the other dude is not!!

[Jc8804]

Lacy was an undefeated double world champion when Calzaghe beat him. Chavez neither. However, no one is saying he should get in on the basis of Lacy alone, but rather his entire body of work.

He crossed the big pond when everyone said he wouldn't and then beat americas favorites when they said he wouldn't. Spare me "they weren't in their primes". Joe wasn't either, took the fight, out of his hometown, unlike 2 fighters, and beat them at their own games.

Joe was peak and had no wear and tear.
Jones was shot (GTFO)!!
Popkins beats certain particular fighters .
Good solid wins , looked ugly vs roy and dawson twice.
B hop beat joe IMO .

Beat what fighters at their own game ?
Waited them out perfectly?? Thats a hall of fame sentence

[Boxfan7819]

Calzhages win over Bhop is underrated.

Not a fan of calzaghe but thats true. bhop was still an effective boxer after that loss

[Barry Allen]

Calzaghe=ATG
Ottke=Not quite

[Weebler I]

So who did lacy beat to win those belts?
Where do you rank lacy alltime ?

Where do you rank Victor Ortiz all time? Who did Canelo beat to win his belt?

Do opponents have to be rated all time now? Just like your last post about 'A grade prime fighters', you're creating arbitrary rules so as to exclude Calzaghe. I'm afraid you're the definition of a "hater".

How did Calzaghe wait Hopkins out when he's still fighting and winning 6 years later?

Since JC, Hopkins has legit wins over Pavlik, Pascal and Cloud in fights people picked him to lose. Many would favour him against Froch currently too.

Chavez is a 2-weight world champion.

[IronDanHamza]

Calzaghe will definitely get in.

Should he? No I don't think so.

You're actually implying Lacy is a better win than Chavez.

That's hilarious.

[IronDanHamza]

how is hopkins a has been? Since then he has won the lineal title and is currently the ibf champion


kessler was prime undefeated and has gone on to win 2 more titles

lacy was a unified undefeated chapion


you made this thread just to hate..but why??

Because the wins being listed here for Calzaghe are clearly not HOF worthy.

[SN!PER]

What's next, Nikolai Valuev in the Hall of Fame?
