I give it five minutes before someone mentions Barry McGuigan's name

[Master]

They all deserve to be in there how can anyone say different Sylvester Stallone was in there and Barry..

[Violent Demise]

Sven Ottke deserves it more than Calzaghe

[IamInuit]

All 3 on the first ballot and deserving.

the boxing HOF is becoming a joke so they are all for sure in there. i hate how there always has to be a certain amount of people inducted every year. its ridiculous. there are so many undeserved fighters who are getting in or are being considered that are nowhere near the HOF level.

de la hoya for sure deserves to get in no matter not just because his skills and resume of fighters, but because what he did for boxing with his huge fights and his promoting company now. he can actually be given credit for making mayweather a cash cow.

tito deserves it but i would say is more on the lower tier of the people who actually deserve to be in there. he was dominant and was a great fighter and lost to the best 2 fighters he fought (bhop and de la hoya, and yes, he easily lost to de la hoya even though the judges disagreed). but he deserves to be in there.

calzaghe is probably about on the lowest tier of deserving to get in. he had a few solid wins but nothing great. most of his competition wasnt that good. he did dominate 168 for a long time though and beat pretty much everyone he should have.

but again, with the easiness of getting in now, they all more than deserve to be in.

I don't know what the HOF is all about really. Surely any fighter who has held a belt is going to get in at some point and considering belt expansionism, I am sure that it will at some stage be a considerable minority of the worlds population.

As for Calzaghe he would P4P slap Tito and DLH on the same evening and then show DLH how a real man handles his night out on the town. Tito in particular was a one trick pony and DLH had stamina issues. Calzaghe's only flaw was his autobiography and the first round on the downside of 30.

only the Golden Boy derserves it out of those 3. How the fuck can you put Clazaghe in at the same time as ODLH who fought Trinidad, Vargas, Quartey, Hopkins, Mayweather, Chavez, Gatti, and a whole host of other great fighters.

Trinidad would be the second inductee on the list IMO. Great puncher, great heart, a bit shitty on the boxing ability and versatility, couldnt adjust in the ring, 1-dimensional, GOT HIS ASS LICKED REAL GOOD by ODLH and the whole world knows it. Got spanked and taught a boxing lesson that night against Oscar.
