Sergey Kovalev - No
Chad Dawson - No
Jean Pascal - No
Terrence Crawford - Yes. Why? Multi-weight champion, unbeaten, undisputed at 140, Lineal/Ring, perennial P4P incumbent.
Vasyl Lomachenko - Yes. Why? Greatest amateur ever, multi-weight champion, P4P, all-round boxing genius.
Oleksander Usyk - Maybe/No. Why? Outstanding amateur, unbeaten, undisputed at cruiser, Lineal/Ring, P4P... However
Deontay Wilder - No
Canelo Alvarez - 100%. Why? Boxing royalty, multi-weight champion, resume littered with past and future HOF-ers, P4P incumbent.
Tyson Fury - No.
Gennady Golovkin - Maybe/No. Why? Outstanding middleweight king, one of the greatest ever, however, was unfortunately "robbed" of his crowning moment.
I would be happy to see Golovkin or Uysk swap places with anyone. And i'm certain Fury and Wilder will get in too being heavyweight "champs" who created a big rivalry.
Is this who you think really deserves to make it in? Because GGG will unquestionably be inducted if he never fought again. Like I said in my post, I think the IBHOF is too watered down and let’s in too many unworthy people. I picked people who I thought would make it it based on criteria.
I agree with your picks - based on criteria - except I made it tougher as only three per year are allowed.
Golovkin and Fury are shoo-ins. I have no doubt Wilder beiing an American Heavyweight "champion" with 10 defences is a shoo-in (modern writers were calling him the "hardest puncher in history"). Dawson and Kovalev will need a weak year.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
