    If we dissect it we can say something like:

    Kessler - Ward cheated, headbutted and outhustled Kessler in what can only be described as hometown cooking.

    Abraham - Was super overrated before the supersix, and has since then proven that he's never been top 10 in SMW.

    Dawson - Weightdrained...

      Morales is a definite hoffer. Does Zahir Raheem get in?

        Well his biggest accomplishment was winning the Super 6 nearly 5yrs ago. The question is, is that enough to get him into the HOF? To be honest....I'm not sure. I think that along with a win over Kovalev may do it.

          So I see the point flew straight over your head.

              A win over Kovalev is straight up HOF material, no question about it.

                "only"

                Hmm...

                  Evidently. From what I read of your post you were saying that because Ward beat a fellow potential hoffer in Froch then he'd be a candidate as well.

                  What was your actual point?

                    Thankfully I missed out on his fearsome crimson whip.

                      His win over an arguable top 10-15 P4P fighter in his prime in Froch was the sealing point, not the actual ticket to get him to the HOF. I mentioned in my other post in this thread that his combination of titles/medal, record, and P4P status gets him into consideration but that his win over Froch is what will tip most people over to voting him in.
