    I don't really know the standards of the IBHOF, but personally I would only put Calzaghe in.

    Calzaghe will definitely be inducted just based of the wins over Hopkins, Kessler and spanking Lacy. He could be a first ballot depending on who else is in his bracket.

    Hatton beat Tsyzu which gives him a chance and has a legion of fans. I think he will make it but not for a while.

    Haye cleaned up Cruiserweight but I don't think he has a chance of going in unless he comes back and either beats a klit or cleans up cruiser again.

    Hatton will get in under the same criteria that got Barry McGuigan in, i.e. his popularity

    I think Calzaghe and Hatton deserve it, but not Haye.

    - Haye had only 2 wins in title fights at cruiserweight. In one of those two, he fought the glass-chinned Maccarinelli (who should never have won a world title, his opponent for the vacant title was an absolute bum). Haye never "cleaned up" cruiserweight.

    - Haye never defeated a heavyweight who wasn't much older than himself (Audley was 39, Ruiz was 38, etc). He ducked the HWs his OWN AGE like Chambers and Arreola.

    - And Haye never fought a cruiserweight who wasn't MUCH older, except Enzo

    - Haye never fought the more durable cruiserweights (like G. Jones, Adamek, Wlod, Cunningham, etc), all those he fought except for one had been KOed before and were chinny (examples Gurov, Maccarinelli)
