    Would be funny to hear his acceptance speech if he was inducted. I can only assume five plus years and a further accumulation of brain damage would not render his verbal utterances any less hilarious than they are today. Mind bubbling? Yulaverse? I think we've only begun to experience the logistical probabilities his brain in full on meltdown can begin to offer.

    No, but he’s a lock first ballot entry for the glass jaw hall of shame!

    I wouldn't put Povetkin in either.

    He had a long reign, but he didn't capture the imaginations of the Americans the way Tyson holyfield and Lewis did. For that I say he's not. Just being honest he was on a five year rule before getting pumilled by Tyson fury twice.

    Beating Danny Jacobs and Derevyanchenko >>>>>> beating fat Stiverne and grandpa Ortiz
    Draw and a close loss to Clenelo >>>>>>>> gift draw and getting battered by Fury

    Are you that slow so I have to explain that?

    Of current HWs four should end up going in the HOF: Fury, Joshua, Usyk and Povetkin.

    Wilder might get in on a sympathy vote, at which point the HOF loses all meaning.

    Imagine trying to compare GGG’s careers to Wilders.

    It was hilarious when Wilder fans used to parade about saying he has an iron chin after taking a couple clean shots from a gassed out old man. Fury landed just a few clean shots and he’s not even a puncher and Wilder was on wobbly legs all night. His chin is certainly not very good, maybe not pure glass but definitely cannot take a punch from a hard hitter without crumbling.

    If Wilder beats Fury then I believe he will get in.. Is his opposition up to par no but his WBC reign is very very similar to Vitali Klitschko whose in the HOF.. A win over Fury who will get in would put him goer the hump in the eyes of the voters..

    Why does he have his own statue again?
