    What current Eastern European fighters are HOF'ers?

    If boxing stopped today, which ones are in?

    GGG? He's actually Asian, if I'm not mistaken

    Loma?

    What's your thoughts

    I'd say GGG, since he was born in the Soviet Union.

      Loma. His armateur accomplishments alone will get him there, just like Lazslo Papp who had a very short pro career.

        Agreed, 2 time Olympic champ with around a 400-1 record, and a 2 time, 2 weight world champion, also won a world title in only 3 fights (joint quickest in history)
        I think he could retire tomorrow and be a lock for the HOF

          He didn't even lose the fight, and if every boxer with a draw or loss was excluded, the Hall would be a lonely place

            I said that because that would've been his best win to get in the HOF. Right now, his best win is Daniel Jacobs

            I'll leave out my personal caveats on that fight

              I agree with you on Loma. Sky's the limit... If boxing stopped today, should Loma get in over Vitali?

              Vital still hasn't gotten in so Loma would have to jump over him

                  You said it because you either don't like GGG, or just want him excluded from the conversation (That's why you argue in your OP that he's Asian, and not European)

                    Don't tell me why I said something. I met a chick from Kazakhstan at the gym the other day. I thought she was from Korea

                    But ok, if you want to call GGG an Eastern Euro lock for the Hall, that's fine by me
