Re: Trinidad, DLH, and Calzaghe likely to be inducted into HOF in 2014
I get a bit annoyed always hearing Calzaghe mouthing off even to this day. he seems very bitter and I remember when he got busted by the newspapers in a cocaine scandal, he was recorded slating hatton and lennox lewis, claiming he was better than them. A lot of when we talk about him is reduced to "what if" because he didn't face everyone he should of and that's his own fault. he didn't want to travel and he didn't want hard fights....that's from his own mouth. I ADMIT he was an awesome talent and one of the best around at the time, but his resume' is not as great as it could have been. With all due respect I feel like Joe padded his record and faced a lot of journeymen.

Re: Trinidad, DLH, and Calzaghe likely to be inducted into HOF in 2014
braddock in no way deserves to be in there. he is one of the worse HW champions ever and was an alright LHW. thats why it was such a big deal that he beat baer. the others i would agree but i would add few like sullivan (because of his place in history alone), jim jeffries, tunney, and ezzard charles. maybe walcott too.Originally Posted by brocktonblockbust

if you have Braddock and Spinks (due to HW), then how the hell wouldn't you have Frazier on there?

Spinks heavyweight career is so overrated. It's pretty much build off 2 gift wins over Holmes.

Re: Trinidad, DLH, and Calzaghe likely to be inducted into HOF in 2014
true but his performance against a much MUCH bigger Gerry Cooney who gave Holmes some problems was awesome: check this clip Spinks was a great combination puncher, sharp and clean and accurate as all hell, dude never missed a punch:Spinks heavyweight career is so overrated. It's pretty much build off 2 gift wins over Holmes.

I'm not denying Spinks was a good fighter. He was. Just his heavyweight career is overrated. Officially it stands at 4-1. But I think it should really be 2-3.
