Comments Thread For: Trinidad, Calzaghe, De La Hoya Discuss IBHOF Nods

All three deserve to be in there. Trinidad and DLH, well, were two of the biggest boxing superstars of the 90's and both were champions in multiple divisions.

Calzaghe is a top 3 all time, arguably #1, super middleweight and one of the most underappreciated and polarizing fighters I can recall.

It's too bad that Wilfredo Vázquez has to keep waiting though.

Polarising in that most Americans didn't have a clue who he was until he fought Hopkins in 2008 at 36 years old. They usually choose to form their opinion on a past-prime Joe collecting his payday against his 90's peers in what were almost exhibition matches for Joe. With one eye on retirement, and another on Ricky Hatton breaking America, I guess Joe figured it was time to cash in on his fantastic career, by fighting the big guys from his own era. Truth be told there was a lot more to Joe than those two fights, and it's a shame most aren't bothered enough to educate themselves and would rather come on here and talk ****.

IMHO Calzaghe would have had the beating of Hopkins at any time. Just all wrong for Hopkins style.

Calzaghe was a joke. Sissy punching to rack up points against the one's he can't knock out.

Obviously not a Floyd Mayweather fan either, then.

Cheers to all who have been inducted whether you are fan (or not ) of either of them.

Legacies are only solidified through heart, skill, and desire to go above and beyond where others are content to being good as suppose to great.
