    I didn't see him until later in his career as he prepared to fight in the US so its hard for me to truly assess his IBHOF credentials. He surely will get in IMO.

          How can you honestly compare these two? Joe had 21 titledefences. You don't come there by sleeping.

          Ofcourse he should go in the HOF, there's no doubt about it.

          Eubank
          Woodhall
          Reid
          Sheika
          Kessler
          Bika
          Lacy
          Hopkins

          Who did he miss?

          Pavlik
          Hopkins rematch

          There's not really a case for him ducking Dawson, Froch or Ward as none of them were established profiles on the scene.

                Yes but Sven Ottke hardly has a big name on it. Joe has a lot of big names. But I did not know that Ottke also had 21 defenses. Kinda ironic.

                But Joe is leagues above him in terms of greatness.

                    Dawson was undefeated IBF LHW champ, he'd beaten Tarver twice, Glen Jhnson and Tomasz Adamek. Many people were calling for that fight or the Pavlik fight, but he chose shot to shît Roy Jones Jr instead.

                    Calzaghe deserves his place in the IBHOF though, I'd just wish he'd gone out on a good win.
