    There is no way that he should be in there. So many people talk about the Lewis fight; where are the other fighters he has fought? He caught Lewis old and cold, and still couldn't beat him. Then again, as someone else said, Mcguigan got in, and all he did was beat an old man and then later on lose his title to a very average fighter. Apparently, Gary Mason is up next.

    to be a hall of famer you need to be a champion that has longevity. yes he was winning the fight against lewis but lost the fight legitimately. when he did eventually win the WBC belt he made one defence. Had his career not been cut short by injury then there is every chance he could have been a dominant champion and made the hall of fame. based on his career at the moment he is not a hall of famer

    He lost his biggest fight which was against a fading, undertrained 38 year old Lennox Lewis.

    Klitschko has not done enough to be in the HOF.

    HOF at this point is ridiculous to even contemplate at this point, he's beaten no one of any real historical significance. To say that "only injury" beat him is wrong because it's part of the game (besides he quit out of exhaustion against Byrd, rotator cuff my ass). He lost to LL and not for the cut it was quite apparent he was going to get KO'd. Could Vitali be a HOF-er sure, but he's got a long way to go imo.

    I absolutely love the conviction with which you replied to this thread, as though it was just posted ealier today, when really it's two years old. Ha, like you've been kryogenically frozen for so long and thawed out just a few minutes ago.....

    The only fight he has ever been in where he was expected/there was any real chance of losing - he lost!

    He may be great for all we know (and it isn't his fault the division is crap) but if he gets in so does Lamar Clarke
