What's keeping Dariusz Michalczewski from being in the IBHOF?

Something is preventing Dariusz Michalczewski from being in the HOF, but nothing is stopping Dariusz Michalczewski from being at the top of my list for 'Coolest Boxing Nicknames of All Time'.

I am pretty sure he has been considered for the Hall but just hasn't made the cut yet. I think you're comparison to Finito Lopez and Triple G is spot on. I would also throw Khaosai Galaxy into that group. Michalczewski hasn't made it yet but I do believe he will at some point. Currently, it is just the lack of a big win that has kept him out but he will get there.

 

There are definitely lesser fighter in the HOF than DM.

 

Yeah I’ve always liked Paz but i don’t think he’s HOF material .

 

I don't know. They took away my vote when I proposed construction of the Henry Maske Wing.

 

Then I am out of ideas.

 

Look I really enjoyed watching him and loved how he threw that hard jab and still was able to land it even against fighters with longer reaches.
Having said all that he is not worthy of the HOF.
Yes I know there are boxers in there that should not be there.
And lets be honest Roy would have literally massacred DM and it would not have been a competitive fight in any way.
And like I said I really enjoy watching him but there is never anything that would make me think he would ever be competitive with a talent like Jones.
And DM should have lost that first fight with Rocky too.

 

Wrong passport and made his name in the wrong scene

Frankly, I think DM has the better case than Hill and numerous others. Even if one doesn't agree with that conclusion, the line between DM and Hill isn't such that Hill should've gotten in as early as he did and DM still isn't in at all

 

He's not American and never fought there.

 

I sure did enjoy finally getting his fights in the mail and watching them. What a tough guy. And he hardly gets credit for those whiskers. Or his accuracy. Or that determination of his. I think he fits right in w/ that crop of tough lh hombres from the late 70's.

But it simply boiled down to so many people not willing to spend money to see his fights. They heard of him but would just read about him 3 months > the fact in a boxing magazine.

 

Pray tell,

Why can't I see The King Of Sting?

 

The WBO title and a bunch of his title defenses being clearly substandard. Remember WBO got made into a major title Ex post facto. It was not considered a major title at the time DM held it.

He's going to make it. The HOF being so young(younger than DM)means there's more backlog with the historical guys.
