    Should Tomasz Adamek be admitted into the Hall of Fame?

    After last night's fight, Tomasz said he may retire, he will decide in a month or so.

    Tomasz has had a very good boxing career. He won a title at light heavyweight, and was linear and Ring Champion at cruiserweight. Tomasz was top 5 at heavyweight for several years, despite being at a size disadvantage in the division.

    Should he be admitted into the Hall of Fame?

    I say no. Tomek was very good, you have to do something great to get in.

        Like if he bought a ticket and wanted to visit the HoF, I'd be ok with him being admitted. I don't think he deserves induction though.

          Not at all, he was never relevant at heavyweight, he was good but not great at all.

            He was linear cruiserweight champion, a titleholder at light heavyweight and a top contender for several years at heavyweight.

              Let me see his resume...

              Briggs 2x(When Briggs was top LHW)
              Ulrich (Another top 10 guy at 175)
              Cunningham at CW but this was controversial
              Banks
              old Golota
              Arreola
              old McBride
              Cunningham at HW (Controversial again, worse than the first)

              Ring champ at 175

              I would say he's borderline HOF. Unfortunately the Gatti/Barry situation comes into play and then you as yourself, is Adamek better, and did he have a better career than Gatti and McGuigan and the answer is yes.

                I think he can at least get his foot in the door....because after Gatti.... anything is possible

                  The IBHOF is a joke. Even I can get in.

                    I chose yes but for me he's borderline for holding titles in two weight divisions including one lineal title at CW.
